How can I publish NFTs on Instagram

It has been known for a few months now that Instagram had started testing the sharing of NFTs on its platform, leaving only a few users this service as a test.

In August 2022, the social network expanded its testing to 100 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas, and added support for popular wallets such as Coinbase and Dapper.

Are there any benefits of uploading NFTs to Instagram?

Integrating NFTs on Instagram allows users to connect to their wallets and choose which NFTs to share with their followers by pinning their possessions to their feeds.

Once the NFT is published, a shiny effect is added to the image and displays information such as a description of the collection, the piece, or the tagging of the creator, thus indicating the authenticity and ownership of the asset.

How to post your NFT on Instagram

The publication of NFT may be an option that at the moment you don’t have active since this is still for a handful of accounts, so what we will explain below would be how these accounts have to do it.

Now you can go to check if your account has the option, if not, don’t worry, it will come.

1. You have to go to your profile and check if you have in your settings the following option: “Digital collectibles”.
2. Connect your wallet, the ones that Instagram accepts at the moment are:
   • Rainbow
   • MetaMask
   • Trust Wallet
   • Coinbase Wallet
   • Dapper Wallet.
   • And the blockchain networks currently supported are Ethereum, Polygon, and Flow. Solana will be added in the future.
3. If you want to add more than one wallet you can do it by clicking on the “Add wallet” section.
4. Once your wallets are connected you will be able to see all your NFTs and you can share them as a publication.

Finally, once you have published your NFT, you will be tagged as the owner or creator of that collectible and the rest of the users will be able to see your digital collectibles in the feed, in your profile, and through the Explore page of the platform.

We hope this guide will be helpful if you are one of the lucky ones who already have the option to publish your NFTs on Instagram.
