Post and show off your NFTs on Instagram and Facebook!
Meta users can post NFTs created on Ethereum, Polygon, and Flow by connecting their wallets, such as Rainbow, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, and Dapper Wallet on their fav social media!
“As we continue rolling out digital collectibles on Facebook and Instagram, we’ve started giving people the ability to post digital collectibles that they own across both Facebook and Instagram. This will enable people to connect their digital wallets once to either app in order to share their digital collectibles across both.”
All you need to do is connect your digital wallets to your Instagram account, and you’ll see all your digital collectibles on the app that you can choose to share on your profile.
As of now, Instagram only supports the above-mentioned chains, but it might roll out a few more options as the project expands. We think this not only promotes NFT projects you’re passionate about but gives a chance to NFT artists to make it to a broader audience that might not yet know what NFT is.

Coin claims to be Bitcoin killer, now FBI’s after the founder
OneCoin, launched in 2014, claimed to be a mineable cryptocurrency with a maximum supply of 120 billion coins, the “Bitcoin killer.” But unlike BTC, OneCoin's blockchain did not exist…
It may come as a surprise to most, but the FBI was one of the first adopters of podcasts in 2008.
Yes, The FBI.
They run a monthly podcast “Inside the FBI”, and the latest podcast is dedicated to Ruja Ignatova, the “Cryptoqueen” who is accused of operating this massive Ponzi scheme. She has been on the run since 2017.
"OneCoin is easy to use. OneCoin is for everyone. Make payments everywhere, everyone, globally. And this is who we are. Global citizens of a small world, wanting to make a change," said Ignatova a year before allegedly defrauding investors of billions.
She also made the FBI’s notorious Ten Most Wanted list two months ago, and with a $100,000 reward, she remains at large.
