# Profile Picture Protocol

The Solana Profile Picture Protocol (SPP) allows Solana users to set a single Metaplex-standard NFT as a universal PFP for the Solana blockchain. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The SPP allows Solana users to set a single Token-standard NFT as their universal PFP in the Solana ecosystem. 
{% endhint %}

#### We created the SPP with the following objectives in mind:

1\) Enhancing the personalization and sense of identity in Solana apps\
2\) Improving user experience when sending transactions \
3\) As an additional layer of security and assurance that the correct recipient is chosen from the address book

{% hint style="info" %}
If you'd like any help with integration, please get in touch with the Solflare team via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/solflare_wallet) or our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/solflarewallet) community. 
{% endhint %}

Individual Solana protocols can use the documentation below to show SPP PFPs in their front end and provide the functionality to allow users to set a new PFP. 

You can find the NPM package for the SPP [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@solflare-wallet/pfp).

### Example

```javascript
import { Connection, PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';
import { getProfilePicture } from '@solflare-wallet/pfp';

const connection = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const walletPubkey = new PublicKey('ES8rZr16f5eAc9PkUcAbafwg5JjEJANbpwu92CF2Cbox');

const { isAvailable, url } = await getProfilePicture(connection, walletPubkey);
```
