What stops people from putting a screenshot of the NFT as their profile picture?

On Twitter, NFTs show as an hexagon and you can find the provenance on the user profile (collection, associated contract…)

One can indeed copy the art and re-mint a new NFT but a single click on the user profile will reveal it’s not the authentic one.

e.g:

Click / Tap on the profile picture to see NFT provenance info

>will reveal it’s not the authentic one

you think there is a central authority deciding authenticity?

>>rasz+c81
There is! Even though crypto is supposed to be decentralized, OpenSeas has taken up the task of marking fraudulent/fake NFTs on their website. They are usually still purchasable on the blockchain, but the websites through which you view the NFTs show it as suspicious, stolen, or fraudulent.

Makes you wonder if they should have just used a centralized ledger in the first place if this was going to be how things are run.

Opensea indeed helps reduce the noise but you can also do it yourself. If you show me a fake BAYC NFT(Bored Ape Yacht Club) I can tell you if it’s authentic just by looking at the blockchain (smart contract address and transaction history for instance)
