Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in a Facebook post this week that Instagram is testing digital collectibles so users can display NFTs on their profiles by linking their third-party digital wallets. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital files that live on a blockchain, thus tying the ownership of each file to one individual. While a jpeg of the NFT could be copied ad infinitum, the owner of the original is identified by the blockchain data. “NFTs are a thing, that’s clear,” said Avast Security Evangelist Luis Corrons. “In fact, Twitter already made the first move, and, of course, Meta’s Instagram doesn’t want to get left behind.”
