How To Link Your Twitter Handle to an Ethereum Address
The tweet above by the team at ChainLink includes a video that illustrates the following process of linking your Twitter handle to an Ethereum address.
First, you need to register a blockchain domain [at UnstoppableDomains.com]
Then you point your domain to a Twitter account you own by signing a message with your private key.
Next, you send out a tweet from your Twitter account to prove they truly own it. This tweet is then fetched by a Chainlink-powered decentralized oracle network, cryptographically hashed, and stored on the Ethereum blockchain to tie it to a specific domain name.
Last, you go into a wallet, type in the blockchain domain, and see the Twitter account displayed before sending money.
