Facebook has rolled out a test to support non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with a select group of creators in the US on its platform, as it aspires to capture the multi-billion dollar metaverse industry.<\/p>\n
Navdeep Singh who is a product manager at Meta (formerly Facebook) shared screenshots of NFTs on Facebook.<\/p>\n
“We’re launching NFTs on Facebook! Excited to share what I’ve been working on with the world,” he posted.<\/p>\n
Instagram Head Adam Mosseri said that the team was “actively exploring NFTs” but didn’t have further details.<\/p>\n
In a video, Mosseri said a small group of US users will get to display NFTs on their feed, stories and in messages.<\/p>\n
Clicking on the tag called “digital collectibles” will showcase details like the name of the creator and the NFT owner.<\/p>\n
“I want to acknowledge upfront that NFTs and blockchain technologies and Web3 more broadly are all about distributing trust, distributing power,” Mosseri said in the video.<\/p>\n
“But Instagram is fundamentally a centralised platform, so there’s a tension there,” he added, adding that support for NFTs on Instagram may popularise the technology further.<\/p>\n
Last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that NFTs will soon arrive on Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
