California-based music streaming platform Audius released a new function that allows artists and fans to embed nonfungible tokens (NFT) on various blogs and social media platforms such as Twitter and Discord.
The “embedded” functionality aims to improve fan engagement for musicians through NFT adoption and Web 3.0 integrations.

While social media platforms allow the use of JPEG images, the embed functionality offered by Audius displays the NFT metadata, which can be used by artists to market and sell their talent.
