Twitter Lets Users Send and Receive Ethereum Tips

In September 2021, Twitterr enabled Bitcoin payments as the first cryptocurrency payment option offered through its tipping jar. feature. On Wednesday, the social media platform added a slew of new payment services, including ethereum, to its existing tipping options.

Users who want to receive ETH tips simply need to enable the platform’s tipping feature and add an Ethereum address in a dedicated section of their profile. However, attempting to add an ENS domain name in place of a full alphanumeric address proved impossible, prompting an error box stating invalid punctuation.

Regarding Bitcoin, tips can be sent via the Bitcoin Lightning Network, which uses the Strike app to send payments. However, the company provided no other details about the ETH tip. Currently, the tipping function is only available for iOS and Android phone users. According to Twitter, all tips received by users belong to them.

The company says tips can be used to "show support, thank, help or reward anyone you want to do the same — from budding creators and journalists to moderators of Twitter Spaces." Other payment services include Cash App, GoFundMe , Patreon, Wealthsimple, and Venmo.

Recently, Twitter rolled out a feature that allows Twitter Blue users to upload a non-fungible token (NFT) as their avatar, but the feature is limited to iOS users.
