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.
