Twitter NFT Profile Pictures Coming Soon
Going by screenshots Alessandro Paluzzi shared over the past few months, NFT profile pictures on Twitter will have a hexagonal shape. To set an NFT as your avatar, you will have to connect your crypto wallet with your Twitter account. The supported crypto wallets include Coinbase, Trust, Argent, Metamask, Gnosis Safe, Crypto.com, Pillar, Opera, and ImToken.
Expanding the profile picture will show you details such as creator info, properties, collection, and technicalities of the NFT, including contract address, token ID, token standard, and the blockchain.

Meanwhile, a sneak peek shared by Twitterâs development team this September revealed a dedicated âCollectibleâ tab where you can browse the collection of NFTs youâve purchased so far.
According to the onboarding screen for Twitter NFT profile pictures Paluzzi shared, the feature is coming to Android and the web soon. Thereâs no word on iOS availability at the moment. #Twitter continues to work on the #NFT Profile Pictures feature đHere’s the introductory screen đđ» pic.twitter.com/nal1hzMQMQâ Alessandro Paluzzi (@alex193a) November 11, 2021
The development comes at a time when popular voice chat app Discord was also planning a similar NFT integration. However, Discord faced backlash from users, following which Discord CEO Jason Citron confirmed that the company has no plans to add crypto and NFT tools to the service for now.
It will be interesting to see how Twitter users react to the upcoming NFT features. If youâre someone who has purchased NFTs, will you consider using NFT profile pictures on Twitter? Let us know in the comments.
