Twitter has added support for Ethereum wallet addresses to its Tip Jar feature that allows Twitter users to support their favorite creators financially using regular money or cryptocurrency.

Support for the Ethereum wallet comes a few months after the social media platform added the ability to send Bitcoin donations using the Lightning Network. So far, Twitter has also added three third-party payment processors, including Barter, Paga, and Paytm.
