As the new organization builds, the team will work to discover ideas in crypto that will help Twitter, as well as what Twitter can do for crypto. There's a lot to explore.
"First, we'll explore how we can support the growing interest among creators in using decentralized applications to manage virtual assets and currencies, and to support their work and their communities. Going forward, we'll explore how insights from crypto communities can help us push the boundaries of what's possible with identity, community, ownership, and more," explains team leader Tess Rinearson via her Twitter thread.
The social network is interested in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and decentralized apps
The new all-time highs achieved by the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum are more than enough reason for the social network to keep its eyes on the issue. The cryptocurrency boom still has time to come; Twitter Crypto plans to work with Bluesky. The initiative is funded by Twitter and aims to decentralize social media.
