In January 2022 Twitter announced an exciting new feature for the NFT community and Twitter Blue subscribers - the ability to verify your NFT PFP. By using your favorite NFT as your profile picture on Twitter, you can set a unique hexagon-shaped PFP that allows you to show off your favorite token and verify your ownership of the piece.
This feature sets your PFP apart from those who simply right-click saving avatars and adds legitimacy. When a hexagon-shaped PFP is clicked, it will lead to information on the token itself, confirming its authenticity.
Learn how to connect your wallet to Twitter to update your profile picture.
