Meta CEO and Facebook Co-Founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the expansion of their non-fungible token (NFT) features for Instagram. Deployed on May 10, 2022, this enables users to showcase their digital collectibles on the social media.
The feature will be available in over 100 countries for users in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the American continent. This will allow content creators to “leverage new tools to earn income”, and connect with their followers in an innovative way, according to an official update.
The Zuckerberg-led company also announced that they will support connections with Coinbase Wallet and Dapper Wallet and integration with the Flow blockchain. The latter celebrated the announcement via their official Twitter handle.

Access will be rolling out all month, so get ready for Flow On Instagram. We’re excited to give everyone a new way to share part of who they are across Instagram This partnership reflects just how much Flow has resonated with developers, creators, and users by providing the right foundation to support consumer-scale NFT adoption
The NFT feature was already compatible with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and other crypto wallet service providers. Thus, users can connect with Ethereum, the most used blockchain in terms of NFTs, and its second layer scalability solution Polygon and now Flow blockchain for free.
The company said the following on the process that will allow users to share NFT-based items with their followers:
