Twitter created blockchain and cryptocurrency divisions

Twitter’s team to develop blockchain-based solutions will be headed by Tess Rinearson. She previously participated in the development of the Tendermint Core protocol and projects from Chain.com. The team will develop a cryptocurrency payment system and look for ways to make money for content creators.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Twitter, to lead a new team focused on crypto, blockchains, and other decentralized technologies—including and going beyond cryptocurrencies. This is a​ publication from site CryptoDeFix. pic.twitter.com/HaP0k5hUOq

Twitter users can already accept donations in Bitcoin, and the social network also announced NFT-identification. The development team will work with web3 and towards the decentralization of social networks.
