The San Franciso-based company will give away 140 new NFTs in its first official foray into the digital assets that have grown in popularity since the beginning of the year.

The social media platform shared a series of tweets featuring a number of different images with the Twitter logo and a Tamagotchi virtual pet. It posted seven different NFTs on Rarible, a third-party platform for buying and selling digital assets, and said it will give away 20 versions of each to interested users.
NFTs are digital assets that represent a wide range of unique tangible and intangible items, from collectible sports cards to virtual real estate and even digital sneakers.
Few NFTs put up for grabs: Vitamin T, Furry Twitter, Reply Guy, Rare Form, First Born, Building Characters, Twitter Jggl.
The company is experimenting with NFTs -- art or video clips tied to a certificate of authenticity stored on the blockchain -- because they have become a popular topic of conversation on Twitter.
Twitter's Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey is a staunch believer in digital assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and he even sold a version of his first-ever tweet as an NFT earlier this year.
