What other companies integrate blockchain technologies? Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously announced that Instagram will have the ability to create NFT tokens. The exact date of implementation of the new functionality remains unknown.

In his opinion, the developers of the social network should deal with more important issues, such as creating tools to combat spambots and scammers.
