Twitter added new payment options to its Twitter Tips monetization feature.

Tips now works with Barter by Flutterwave (Africa), Paga (Nigeria) and Paytm (India), and Twitter users can now add an Ethereum address, as well.

A Twitter spokesperson said, “Like Twitter, digital currencies operate without global barriers. We’re excited to incorporate Ethereum, in addition to Bitcoin payment in Tips, enabling more people to participate in the digital economy with as little friction as possible.”

The social network rolled out Tips for iOS last September after beta-testing what was then called Tip Jar last May with a limited number of people around the world who use the social network in English, including creators, experts, journalists and nonprofits.
