A completely free feature

According to

media , which specializes in digital currencies, Instagram should support NFTs from four blockains: Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and Flow.

No one knows yet if all of these blockchains, which constitute a technology for storing and transmitting information, will be usable as soon as this feature, which is also free, is launched.

Unlike Twitter, Instagram has actually decided to offer the posting or sharing of NFTs for free.

“There will be no costs associated with posting or sharing an NFT on Instagram,” assured Adam Mosseri.

A decision that could be a turning point in the world of NFTs and in particular for the Meta group, the parent company of Instagram led by Mark Zuckerberg created to become a "metaverse company".
