    According to users, Twitter’s NFT PFP function has one fatal flaw

    By Bryan TeohJanuary 22, 20222 Mins Read

    Twitter and OpenSea announced the launch of Twitter Blue’s NFT PFPs several days ago. Since then, it has caught the attention of the NFT community, with various parties chiming in with their thoughts. One particular Twitter user identified a fatal flaw that seems to be a major turn-off to many.

    Adam Hollander (@HollanderAdam) tweeted that Twitter Blue currently allows all PNG and JPEG NFTs, minted as ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token standards to be used as profile pictures. This means that anyone can copy-paste any image, mint in on OpenSea, and use it as their PFP. This flaw sort of negates the prestige of flexing an NFT in the new hex-shaped Twitter profile picture.

    Something? Nothing? or Everything?

    Of course, most active participants in the NFT community can identify a fake piece, especially those worth copy-pasting like BAYC and CryptoPunks. Once people tap into the picture, they can instantly see its details such as the name, creator, collection details, and other properties. They can then quickly identify if it is an imitation.

    However, this Twitter flaw has led some to argue that it nullifies many of the benefits it was supposed to bring. This introduction was supposed to allow NFT holders to signal their membership and to identify other members easily. Besides, it should also promote engagement among like-minded users, building a healthy community in the process.

    After the announcement, Elon Musk did not mince words in his tweet saying: “This is annoying. Twitter is spending engineering resources on this bs while crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread!?”

    Adam Hollander and Elon Musk are certainly not the only ones feeling the redundancy of the rollout. If anyone can easily open the doors to this ‘community’, do people really want to be paying $2.99 every month? Given that this feature is in its early stages, we’re confident that Twitter will make the necessary tweaks in the near future.
