## What Jamie wrote

This seems like an obvious way for Twitter to dip their toes into some web3 ownership concepts. The hexagon is needed to tell it is a different *type* of profile. It would be even cooler if they connected this to your ENS profile, and used [NFT Avatar support](https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/nft-avatar-support-for-ens-profiles-bd4a5553f089) from ENS to configure.
