  This paper presents an analysis of the role of social media, specifically
Twitter, in the context of non-fungible tokens, better known as NFTs. Such
emerging technology framing the creation and exchange of digital object,
started years ago with early projects such as "CryptoPunks" and since early
2021, has received an increasing interest by a community of people creating,
buying, selling NFT's and by the media reporting to the general public. In this
work it is shown how the landscape of one class of projects, specifically those
used as social media profile pictures, has become mainstream with leading
projects such as "Bored Ape Yacht Club", "Cool Cats" and "Doodles". This work
illustrates how heterogeneous data was collected from the Ethereum blockchain
and Twitter and then analysed using algorithms and state-of-art metrics related
to graphs. The initial results show that from a social network perspective, the
collections of most popular NFTs can be considered as a single community around
NFTs. Thus, while each project has its own value and volume of exchange, on a
social level all of them are primarily influenced by the evolution of values
and trades of "Bored Ape Yacht Club" collection.
