Now you can tip creators on Twitter with Ethereum

Micro-blogging site Twitter has reportedly allowed users to include Ethereum addresses on its platform. Twitter users will now be able to send tips to other users to support their insights.

The development was confirmed by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong on her Twitter account. Wong in her tweet said that the Ethereum address is finally publicly available in Twitter Tip Jar.
Wong had earlier hinted that the social media giant was working on the integration of Ethereum wallets.


Tip Jar is essential if a user sees a particularly entertaining or informative tweet, they can send money to its creator’s Patreon, Cash App, Paypal, Venmo and Bandcamp directly from the application.
The process to add an Ethereum wallet address is very simple. Users who agree to Twitter’s updated tipping policy can ‘copy someone’s Bitcoin or Ethereum address and paste their address into whatever wallet they prefer.

"We're continuing to expand ways to get paid on Twitter, which includes more choices for creators and fans who want to use crypto," Johnny Winston, Lead Product Manager of Creator Monetisation at Twitter, was quoted as saying by CoinDesk.

Twitter launched Tip Jar in September and it has also announced to offer support for Paytm as an additional payment provider for its feature. The inclusion of Paytm will enable users to make payments using their credit, debit cards, UPI, and net banking.
