The rising popularity of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has generated a twinge of scepticism, yet also anticipation as NFT Inspect, a notable NFT analysis and community tool, collaborates with the esteemed Web3 infrastructure enterprise, MoonPay. This aims to enable crypto enthusiasts on Twitter to secure cryptocurrencies and NFTs via its Chrome browser extension.
Following the release of its new Chrome browser extension last month, NFT Inspect has been furnishing real-time information on frequently used NFT collections appearing as Twitter profile pictures. Offering a unique Twitter NFT Search tool, this allows for a multitude of searches on the application of NFTs on the social media platform, while also providing analysis on blockchain data about the collection.
This merging of forces promises to provide an expanded platform for users to access a multitude of cryptocurrencies. Purchases can be made via MoonPay’s proficient payment infrastructure, which graciously accepts methods such as debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or various local bank transfers. This innovative collaboration sends a clear signal of intent to drive a more inclusive crypto adoption, crafting a universal digital payments ecosystem. As stated by Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay, the mission is to involve everyone, regardless of their experience level.
However, NFT Inspect hasn’t always been on the rise. It was revived under new ownership in March after reluctantly announcing its shutdown in January. The new owners’ focus has been on developing tools to assist NFT traders in monitoring market trends. MoonPay has also been active and growing its ties with other companies. It partnered with Mastercard in June 2022, allowing customers to acquire NFTs from a variety of marketplaces like LooksRare and Magic Eden, bypassing the need to first purchase cryptocurrencies.
While the collaboration does contribute to the goal of broader crypto adoption, there’s a slight underpinning of apprehension around the convenience of the procedure. Additionally, there’s implicit skepticism around the sudden rise of NFT Inspect after a recent shutdown and NFT’s overall volatility remains a matter of concern. Regardless, the continued development of tools and the expansion of partnerships indicate that NFTs and crypto, are slowly but surely inching their way to becoming the new norm in digital transactions.
