Not particularly. What verification means there is verifying that a certain Bored Ape is really on the "official" Bored Ape contract. It's verifying the contract address and nothing else. The NFTs themselves can be traded anywhere, there's no lockin for OpenSea there.
It's trivial for Twitter to add another contract address verification source.
- paulgb 5y agoWill OpenSea verify an NFT minted on a non-OpenSea platform? I had assumed the answer is “no” but I’m not 100% sure. > It's trivial for Twitter to add another contract address verification source. It’s technically trivial, but then they are putting themselves in a position to verify the verifiers. It seems like they are outsourcing verification because they want to avoid the overhead of deciding what a verified NFT is, which is something they would have to do if they invited in more sources.
- TigeriusKirk 5y ago>Will OpenSea verify an NFT minted on a non-OpenSea platform? Yes. All the popular NFTs were minted on their own contracts, not on OpenSea. My suspicion is Twitter will move to verifying for themselves in the long run. I get why they don't want to do it to start, but the hassles of dealing with any 3rd party will grow over time.
- paulgb 5y agoI found the form to get verified; it doesn’t matter where the collection was minted but you have to reach a volume threshold on OpenSea. https://airtable.com/shr6kWzFZ4gWdYE6C https://airtable.com/shr6kWzFZ4gWdYE6C I would bet against Twitter ever entering the NFT verification game. They are already in over their head with account verification, IMHO.
