In recent times, NFTs have become a real battlefield around which all those who have decided to take advantage of them to earn good money or, at least, try to, and those who believe that they are a fad that will eventually die sooner rather than later, at the rate of the losses that many of the investors begin to suffer.
No matter what you think, they are already here
Whether you align yourself with one team or the other, there is no doubt that NFTs are here to stay, under the protection of blockchain technology, and the demand that increasingly occurs in all places where they are sold. Remember that almost anything can be a non-fungible token, that is, an object that is not consumed with use, but remains unalterable and under our exclusive property, as a unique item, until we decide to get rid of it.
Well, Instagram, as a part of Meta (Facebook), it was evident that it was going to welcome these NFTs with open arms, although it only remained to know how they would do it and although in recent days some information has appeared that come to reveal the plans of those of Mark Zuckerberg, It has finally been made official. Do you know how they are going to do it? Behold.
Although The Financial Times had already warned that Instagram would be the first stop for these NFTs within the Meta ecosystemMore details are now known, such as that it will integrate these NFTs through Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and Flow, which are basically the networks that account for the vast majority of the trade in these objects worldwide, with examples of those that surely you have heard about as are the famous Bored Apes from Ethereum.
Testing first, then...
But of course, for Instagram to venture into NFT territory at the same time it has to be able to offer some kind of compatibility with wallets of cryptocurrencies, so first we will see how the social network allows us to work with apps like MetaTask, which will allow users to complete their transactions and, obviously, show those little works of art (or whatever you want to call them) that you are buying, share them and mention their creators.
Of course, it seems that Instagram will opt for not charging users to publish and share their NFTs (unlike what Twitter did a few months ago, in January), which will serve as a showcase with which to reach millions of users around the world who still today do not know exactly what benefits You can report that to boast of exclusive objects that only we have in the entire wide sea of Internet.
After all, with a billion users, putting a face and eyes on NFTs may be the best way to convert skeptics and multiply a business which in the coming years already threatens to be one of the most prosperous that will be seen in the metaverse of which Mark Zuckerberg boasts so much.
