Meta Begins NFT Testing for Facebook
On June 30th, Navdeep Singh, product manager at Meta, shared screenshots showing off the ability for Facebook users to create custom NFT posts using the “Digital Collectibles” tag.
The chosen accounts can also post the NFTs on their timelines, and friends who click on the uploaded digital art will be able to view the full details of the digital collectible. These posts can also be reacted to, liked, and commented on like regular Facebook posts.
As seen in the NFT integration present on Instagram, those selected for the pilot program can also connect their cryptocurrency wallets to their Facebook profiles.
With Instagram now broadening the feature from the U.S. to include more countries, people expect the same to happen to Facebook NFT integration in the coming weeks.
Instagram supports NFTs minted on Ethereum and Polygon – with Solana and Flow integration still in the works. While Meta has not yet disclosed the blockchains that will be supported in the Facebook integration, many expect a similar trend.
