Instagram is a photo-sharing social network with limited resources. The Facebook-turned-Meta-owned service admits that supporting decentralized technology on a centralized platform is a huge effort, but Instagram has the resources to spare! <\/p>\n<p><span ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p> Instagram&#8217;s head Adam Mosseri delivered today&#8217;s non-fungible news in calm, collected video. It almost seems like this is a logical explanation. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This week we&#8217;re beginning to test digital collectibles with a handful of US creators and collectors who will be able to share NFTs on Instagram. There will be no fees associated with posting or sharing a digital collectible on IG,&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mosseri\/status\/1523655590672695296?s=21&amp;t=i4HkUsNY9FENjjvopqSW3g\">says Mosseri<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>And maybe it does make sense. Facebook is diving head first into the metaverse pool, and NFTs might make for the perfect pool toys. It&#8217;s all an abstraction that I can&#8217;t see beyond the level where my mind is limited to seeing my Instagram feed on my tablet. <\/p>\n<p> If NFT support via Instagram really tickles your fancy, here are some :<\/p>\n<p> details<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>available for select creators and collectors;<\/li>\n<li>blockchain support includes Ethereum and Polygon;<\/li>\n<li>wallet support includes Rainbow, MetaMask, and Trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that&#8217;s about as much NFT talk as I can pretend to understand for now.
