There are no fees. Instagram said it updated its security policy to strengthen account and wallet protection when connecting.<\/p>\n<p>After the token is published, it will shimmer and can display publicly available information from the blockchain associated with it. Automatic tagging of the collection and token owner may be applied if the privacy settings allow.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram confirmed support for Ethereum and Polygon. Flow and Solana will be added later.<\/p>\n<p>Wallets available for connection will include Rainbow, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Dapper and Phantom.<\/p>\n<p>Meta said that NFT-related functionality would also arrive on Facebook. In Instagram, users will be able to use NFT with augmented reality in Stories via SparkAR.<\/p>\n<p>The development team will continue to work on adding new features.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2022, the Financial Times reported that Meta was planning to integrate NFT into Facebook and Instagram, and was working on a platform prototype to issue these digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in March, Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said that the NFT-creation feature could appear in Instagram in the coming months. <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.io\/mark-tsukerberg-podtverdil-skoroe-poyavlenie-nft-v-instagram\/\">\u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0432 Instagram \u0443\u0436\u0435 \u00ab\u0432 \u0431\u043b\u0438\u0436\u0430\u0439\u0448\u0438\u0435 \u043c\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0446\u044b\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to ForkLog news on Telegram: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/forklogfeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForkLog Feed<\/a> \u2014 all the news, <a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.me\/forklog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForkLog<\/a> \u2014 the most important news, infographics and opinions <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting this week, selected Instagram users will be able to use NFTs as profile pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1433,1293,1213],"class_list":["post-61265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-instagram","tag-meta","tag-nft"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"28","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61267,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61265\/revisions\/61267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
