Meta Expands Instagram NFT Integration In Over 100 Countries

Meta, a Mark Zuckerberg-led company has started to expand its nonfungible token (NFT) program across 100 countries in Africa, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas, according to a Meta press article published on Thursday.

iexclusivenews reports that this includes the ability to upload digital collectibles created on the Flow blockchain as well as the addition of support for wallet connections with Coinbase Wallet and Dapper.

This online news outlet understands that the initial deployment is focused on the well-known social media platform Instagram.

To publish an NFT on Instagram, one merely has to link their digital wallet, according to the company’s revised article. As of Thursday, third-party wallet connections with Rainbow, MetaMask,

Trust, Coinbase, and Dapper Wallet were either finished or would be shortly. The supported blockchains at the moment are Flow, Polygon, and Ethereum. Posting or sharing a digital collectible on Instagram is free of charge.

A layer-1 blockchain, Flow uses its own FLOW currency as payment for membership in the network, transactions, and governance.

Meanwhile, iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that digital assets seem to have joined the metaverse as one of the fundamental elements for Meta’s growth.

The company’s sales declined by 1% to $28.8 billion in the second quarter of 2022, while operating income plummeted by 32% to $8.36 billion during the same time.

The company’s staggering $2.8 billion loss in its Metaverse segment, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, didn’t bother him because there was still a chance to generate “hundreds of billions” or perhaps “trillions” of dollars as the industry develops.
