Twitter recently announced the integration of a non-fungible token (NFT) profile picture feature on its TwitterBlue platform. While it was initially just major financial entities dipping their toes into the blockchain scene — such as PayPal, Square, and Microstrategy, among many others — we now have players from a variety of other industries making their presence felt across these markets.

It was revealed earlier this year that the social media behemoth was bolstering its in-house crypto team by onboarding new talent in an effort to bolster its rapidly expanding creator economy as well as explore a variety of novel domains such as membership tokens, DAOs, and much more.

Earlier in 2021, Twitter announced to the world that it would allow its users to tip its content creators using a variety of digital assets (including Bitcoin and Ethereum).

In keeping with its crypto-centric vision, Twitter recently announced the integration of a non-fungible token (NFT) profile picture feature on its TwitterBlue platform, a subscription version of the microblogging and QuickNode, a Web3 developer platform that allows users to seamlessly build and scale blockchain-powered applications, will oversee the entire operation (dApps).

QuickNode is a project that allows non-crypto, blockchain-focused businesses to launch their very own nodes (with a global network of RPC endpoints) across a total of 10+ blockchains With the click of a button, you can access Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, and other cryptocurrencies.

Quicknode unveil some feature

There’s no denying that Solana has been the best performing crypto asset of the year, and rightly so. The project can be viewed as a crypto computing ecosystem that aims to achieve high transaction speeds while maintaining key aspects such as transparency and decentralization. The project was able to record gains as a result of its incredible technological proposition.

However, while Solana can handle over 65,000 transactions per second on paper, its existing end-user infrastructure does not allow dApps to benefit from such massive speeds; instead, most users report an average tps rate of 1,000 transactions. 

In this regard, Quicknode recently revealed in a new whitepaper that it had successfully deployed a purpose-written script (available on Github) to reduce Solana’s network latency from 126.67 ms to an astounding 15.36 ms.

Not only that, but QuickNode’s endpoint demonstrated a significant block height advantage over its competitors, as well as a block time advantage of over 50 minutes, indicating a significant improvement in Solana’s native capabilities, to say the least.
