On Twitter, you can now tip using Ether
Twitter adds Ethereum support to its virtual 'tipping' feature, months after adding bitcoin support.
Twitter TWTR, -2.00 percent announced on Wednesday that it is expanding its mobile tipping feature to include support for Ethereum, 0.42 percent.
Twitter's "Tips" service allows users to send money, including cryptocurrency, to accounts they like via the Twitter mobile app. In September 2021, the social media behemoth began accepting bitcoin, -0.05% tips.
"We're continuing to expand ways to get paid on Twitter, including more options for creators and fans who want to use crypto," said Johnny Winston, Twitter's lead product manager of creator monetisation, in a statement. "We're thrilled to allow anyone to add their ETH Address to Tips."
It should be noted that it is unclear whether Twitter Tips will support other Ethereum blockchain tokens, such as ERC-20 tokens and stablecoins, or only ether.
Twitter's announcement demonstrates the company's interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. On Thursday, Twitter began allowing some users to use their non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, as profile pictures, which they began doing earlier this year. (A non-fungible token (NFT) is a certificate of ownership for a one-of-a-kind digital asset that is not intended to be exchanged.)
