Meta Product Manager Navdeep Singh shared a sneak peek of whatNFTswill look like on Facebook in a Twitter post Wednesday. According to the post, users will have a “digital collectibles” tab on their Facebook profiles where they can showcase their NFTs, which are unique blockchain tokens that signify ownership.

Users will be able to connect theircryptocurrency walletsto their Facebook profiles. They’ll also be able to turn their NFTs into Facebook posts, which can be reacted to, liked, commented on, and shared just like any other post.

Tech and media consultant Martin Bryantarguedthat Meta "clearly wants to offer a home toWeb3folks" with the announcement, considering the company has also recently begun testing out changes to Facebook Groups to make them look "more likeDiscord."

Singh did not respond toDecrypt’s request for comment.

The social media giant previously began rolling outNFTs on Instagramfor some creators “in a handful of countries” in May, the Meta representative confirmed toDecryptvia email.

In an earlierannouncement, Instagram shared that NFTs posted or shared on the app will automatically tag both the NFT’s creator and collector, and the company won’t charge any fees for posting or sharing NFTs. Collectors will also be able to share their NFTs asaugmented reality stickers.

Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, previously said that Instagram is launching NFT features in part because of the growing creator economy.

“Now, we think one really interesting opportunity for a subset of creators is NFTs—the idea of owning a unique digital item,” Mosserisaid in May.

Meta did not respond toDecrypt’s request for comment on whether or when Facebook’s NFT features will go live to all users.

Caldwell 101 Spiral Galaxy
Deep in the constellation of Pavo, also known as the "Peacock”, there lives a spiral galaxy. Caldwell 101, also known as the NGC 6744, is an intermediate spiral galaxy. It is about 30 million light-years away. Very much like our own Milky Way Galaxy, Caldwell 101 is almost twice as big. Its massive disk stretches 175,000 light-years across. This Intermediate Spiral Galaxy is classified somewhere between a barred spiral and an unbarred spiral galaxy. A small companion galaxy is located nearby that is quite similar to our galaxy's companion galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. This companion galaxy, called NGC 6744A for short, can be seen as a blob in the main galaxy's outer arm (lower right of the image). To shoot distant galaxies like this requires special equipment and processing. To capture details, like the detail in this image, I use remote a telescope service located in high and desert-like regions. In the desert, the light pollution is pretty low, less humidity increases the quality of seeing. Large apertures and longer focal lengths have to be used to capture deep space's true beauty and mystery. This photo was shot using a remote access 24-inch mirrored telescope in Chile. Four different filters with a monochrome CCD sensor were used to create an LRGB image. L stands for Luminance while R, G, and B stand for Red, Green, and Blue channels. The Luminance channel is widely used in astrophotography when galaxy shooting. It is the brightness information collected from the deep space object that allows for the capture of this image. This photograph required years of preparation, study, observation, and process. My creations require a personal and unique combination of technology, art, science, patience, and magic. My life goal is to bring the true majesty of the universe to life. This is both my passion and my life purpose.
