Twitter launched its Tip Jar feature early last year, as a way for people to send money to their favorite creators (or between each other) without leaving the app. Setting up a Tip Jar allowed people to transfer cash but now the social network is expanding the functionality to cover for the latest technology fashion – cryptocurrency.The news was announced on Twitter (unsurprisingly) with a post from the official TwitterSupport account. “Have you set up Tips on your profile yet so it’s easy for people to show their support? Yes: Cool, we’ve added Paga, Barter by Flutterwave, Paytm, and the option to add your Ethereum address,” read the post.
There’s also a link to the “Tips&Tipping” FAQ page, so users can deepdive into the feature. The TL;DR version is that anyone 18 years or older can enable tips on their profile to receive cash and now – cryptocurrency.If you have some Ethereum stashed away, and you want to show your support to your favorite Twitter creator, you can add your Ethereum wallet address and send some hashes his way. Previously, Twitter reiterated that it doesn’t take any commissions on these transactions.
