Onlyfans announced that a new feature was launched to leverage non-fungible technology (NFT) technology. On Thursday, Onlyfans added a new feature that allows members to use authenticated NFTs in their profile photos.
Onlyfans Enters the Realm Of NFTs
The London-based content subscription service Onlyfans is well known for its direct funding for content creators, its one-time tips, the firm’s pay-per-view (PPV) features, and of course, NSFW content.
Onlyfans announced this week it was experimenting in blockchain technology. The firm allows users to display their NFTs. According to a report from Reuters, Onlyfans CEO Ami Gan explained that the move is meant to empower the platform’s userbase.
“Our mission is to empower creators to own their full potential,” Gan explained to the Reuters author Elizabeth Culliford. “This feature is the first step in exploring the role that NFTs can play on our platform.”
Because a lot of popular businesses have already joined the NFT market, Onlyfans has the upper hand. Moreover, Twitter’s verified NFT profile feature is similar to the Onlyfans NFT profile concept. Twitter introduced the feature last month.
On Febraury 6, Bitcoin.com News reported on Alphabet’s (Google) plans to explore blockchain and Web3 technology. Furthermore, Alphabet’s subsidiary Youtube published a blog post explaining that it has plans to leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Adam Mosseri (CEO of Instagram) stated that Instagram was exploring NFTs. Reports also note that Meta has been experimenting with this technology.
Ami Gan (CEO of Onlyfans) stated that the NFT support would be available for Ethereum-based NFTs. To verify they have been verified, an Ethereum logo will be used. The company didn’t disclose whether or not it would support other blockchains that support NFT tech going forward.
