PFPs are big news. A PFP is a kind of tiny NFT that is used as your profile picture in places like Twitter. It is becoming increasingly more popular and you can see more and more celebs and influencers rocking personalized NFT PFPs on their accounts.
The question is, how do you prove that you own that NFT and are not simply uploading a screenshot of someone’s valuable PFP to your account?
One company that is clearly ahead of the program here is MyNFT.fyi. They have created a certificate that matches a user’s unique PFP NFT, and the timing couldn’t be better as this is something that Twitter has just announced that they are soon launching.
To upload your PFP NFT, you can click on your Twitter avatar, upload your NFT from your chosen wallet, and you will be able to display your own NFT as your own profile picture. Then the process with MyNFT takes literally seconds. First claim the page with your Twitter handle - https://mynft.fyi/yourname. Then showcase your asset image with a complete on-chain proof of ownership
Once done, you will see your Etherum check mark on your Twitter profile, which shows that this NFT has been authenticated on the Ethereum blockchain. By clicking your profile image you will go directly to your certificate of ownership. You can also use your personal URL to link directly to your certificate.
How Did PFPs Come About?
PFPs came into the picture in 2017 with the launch of CryptoPunks. There are only 10,000 CryptoPunks available and their scarcity skyrocketed their value up, with the most expensive being sold at $7.57 million. Quite simply, they are small pieces of art, just 24x24 pixels, which were generated by an algorithm. CryptoPunks, was started as an experiment and was inspired by the London punk scene, each cryptopunk just like every NFT PFP can only be owned by one person.
