A hacker added an Ethereum trick feature on Twitter: Report

Jane Wong, a hacker, added an Ethereum Tips feature to Twitter that the social media platform hasn’t announced yet, and she became famous for finding features in unreleased apps. So read more about it in our latest Ethereum news.

The hacker added an Ethereum suggestion feature even though Jack Dorsey doesn’t like Ethereum. Jack Dorsey Since the outgoing Twitter CEO is known to focus his efforts solely on Bitcoin, the hacker appropriately decided on the day of his resignation to cause a sensation by adding an Etheruem address to her Twitter tips button. The hacker is from Hong Kong and is known for her skills in programming apps or using apps like Spotify and Instagram to uncover features that companies have not announced or announced.

In the case of Twitter, Wong was able to tweak some parts of the app that allow users to get tips in BTC or Fiat through Venmo as well as other payment platforms. Those payment options don’t include Ethereum yet, but Wong found a way to add one, as she notes:

“This feature has been around since at least September, but I don’t think it’s widespread. I used my magic to add the address to my tip glass. I was tinkering with the internals of the Twitter app. “

The tipping feature on Twitter was limited to iOS mobile users, but the company has started rolling the feature to Android users, but it’s unclear when the company will officially roll out the tipping option. However, other skilled hackers can take the lead and do it in the meantime. Meanwhile, other crypto users on Twitter have used Wong’s tweet to speculate that Dorsey’s departure could open up a few more ETH-enabled users to the platform. As for Wong, she said she doesn’t know if Dorsey has shared opinions about other developers working on Ethereum-related features, but added:

“I think Jack’s departure will make it easier to give the green light to these things.”

As recently reported, the popular BTC backer has stepped down from his role as CEO of Twitter, according to an announcement from Twitter. Parag Agrawal, the company’s former CTO, will now become CEO, while Dorsey will retain his position on the advisory board.
