Twitter’s hexagon NFT profile pictures? Partly powered by Miami company

The latest Twitter fad, a profile picture turned into hexagon-shaped art, is getting a boost from a Miami company.

Many of these digital images are non-fungible tokens, or NFTs — unique pieces of artwork, photography or other creative designs that have been purchased as investments or status symbols. The most well-known of those NFTs, images of slack-jawed primates known as Bored Apes, have sold for millions of dollars.
