Twitter has decided to allow the addition of Ethereum addresses on its platform for s to send tips and show towards a Twitter for their insights. This comes months after the microblogging platform introduced Bitcoin payments to its Tips Jar feature. Reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong had back in November reported that Twitter may be working towards the integration of Ethereum wallets. She had successfully found a way to add her ETH address to the feature back when Twitter's Tip Jar feature was limited to Bitcoin addresses and Jack Dorsey was still the CEO.

The process of adding an Ethereum wallet address has been fairly streamlined as, according to Twitter's updated tipping policy, s who agree to it can “copy someone's Bitcoin or Ethereum address and paste their address into whatever wallet [they] use”.

"We're continuing to expand ways to get paid on Twitter, which includes more choices for creators and fans who want to use crypto," Johnny Winston, Lead Product Manager of Creator Monetisation at Twitter, told CoinDesk in a statement. "We're excited to add the ability for anyone to add their ETH Address to Tips."

It should be noted that it's not clear whether other tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, such as ERC-20 tokens and stablecoins, will be ed by Twitter Tip Jar, or if it's just Ether for now.
