If you’re among the growing number of users with access, you may now share posts with your blockchain-verified things on Facebook as well. Meta has been testing support for NFT “digital collectible” posts on Instagram since May. After users connect their digital wallets to either network, the company has “started offering customers the option to publish digital collectibles that they own across both Facebook and Instagram,” according to an updated blog post from the business.
The posts will basically look like normal posts, according to a screenshot the company tweeted, but will have a badge marking them as a “digital collectible.”
The FAQ has a lot of details about how the connections work and keeping your account secure, which is important since linking NFTs to Facebook and Instagram likely increases the possibility that people who post them will be targeted with phishing attempts, which have successfully hijacked wallets and their associated items on multiple occasions.
The timing of this latest expansion and sharing across Facebook is conspicuously timed, popping up the day after Eminem and Snoop Dogg performed their Bored Ape Yacht Club-linked collaboration at MTV’s VMAs. Judging by the responses to that event, existing NFT fans seemed energized, but other music lovers weren’t as impressed.
Despite the performance, or perhaps because owners wanted to hold onto their NFTs and hope the values appreciate this afternoon, the BAYC ranked only fourth in a list of most active collections.
