The Identity Hexagon: How to Use an NFT as Your HackerNoon Profile Picture

0 109


Hear ye! Hear ye! Beautiful humans across the globe.

Let it be known that you can now upload Eth- or Matic-based NFTs to your HackerNoon profile as your avatar.  What’s more? it shows up bordered by the notorious identity hexagon.

Just like this:

Change is something we’re very familiar with at HackerNoon. And quite often, we stand on the edge of it. As such, over the last few months (and since our inception), we’ve shown a commitment to not just changing along with the tech community and our internet, but actively championing it in some areas.

We’ve pushed feature after feature to welcome the future.

For instance, our first (significant) foray into Web3 was enabling wallet-based signups and logins to our platform. But that’s not all, we also allow for NFTs as story embeds, coil web monetization, stable AI image generation within our text editor for select users (editors and admins), and so forth.

Wait, there’s more.

We also launched theHackerNoon Coin pages – where coin data meets stories- and Blockchain Games rankings. And for our writers, we consistently host sponsored writing contests. Right now, you can take part in any of our active contests, like the #enterthemetaverse contest sponsored by Sandbox or the Sora-sponsored Defi writing contest. With HackerNoon, there’s always something for everyone.

And now, NFT profile pictures!

Using Moralis – a resource that provides a number of tools for working with Web3 contracts – HackerNoon’s developers are able to fetch NFT Metadata from users’ wallet addresses across Ethereum and Polygon Networks.

But you don’t have to worry about the backend – unless you’d like to of course.

All you have to do is follow the steps below:

Your NFT profile picture can be set up in two easy steps:

  • Link your wallet to HackerNoon
  • Update your avatar.

Linking your wallet to HackerNoon

If your wallet is already linked, you can skip this step.

If it isn’t then:

  • Navigate to the top right corner of the HackerNoon homepage and click on your avatar. Then select edit profile from the drop-down menu.
  • Next, select Wallet from the navigation menu.

After this is done, you will see a prompt to connect your wallet.

Updating Your Avatar on HackerNoon

  • Navigate to Details on the Edit profile page, and this time click on Upload Avatar, as shown below.

That’s it for the update! Thank you for being an important part of the HackerNoon community, and please stay tuned for future updates.
