Twitter Adds Ethereum Wallet Support to Tipping Feature
Twitter added the ability to donate Ethereum to other users.
The “Tips” service was launched in September 2021. But until today, it only supported fiat and bitcoin transfers.
The donation function allows you to support the creativity of other users, make donations, interesting finance startups, or simply congratulate your friends on an important date.
Twitter has integrated its own wallet, Strike, running on the Lightning Network to implement this project. This allows you to transfer money with minimal commissions and in a short time. Interestingly, Twitter itself does not receive any share of the tips.
You can enable this feature in the settings. In addition, you need to connect to one of the supported payment services or provide a wallet address.
Tips do not support literal ENS addresses. Also, this feature is only available to adults. Users under 18 cannot receive or send money to others.
