Meta expands NFT support on Instagram to 100 countries
in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas
Meta announced Thursday that it is starting its international expansion of digital collectible (NFT) support on Instagram.
Users in more than 100 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas will be able to share NFTs on Instagram. Before the expansion, only select creators in the U.S could do so.
The company also announced that Coinbase Wallet and Dapper Wallet are now accepted as third-party wallets compatible for use. Additionally, Instagram has added support for NFTs minted on the Flow blockchain.
Instagram’s NFT feature allows users to connect to a digital wallet, share NFTs on their feed or stories, and automatically tag both a creator and collector for attribution. Once posted, the digital collectible will have a shimmer effect and can display public information, such as a description of the NFT.
As of yesterday, Instagram supports connections with third-party wallets, including Rainbow, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, and Dapper Wallet. Supported blockchains include Ethereum, Polygon, and Flow. The company noted that there are no fees associated with posting or sharing a digital collectible on Instagram.
