Frames Introduction ​

Frames are a way to build interactive apps that run directly in a Farcaster social feed.

They can be used to create rich in-feed experiences for web applications:

• NFTS shared from Zora and Highlight can be minted in-feed
• Newsletters shared from Paragraph can read inline and subscribed to in-feed
• Markets shared from Polymarket let users place bets in-feed

Or standalone experiences like polls and games:

• spot and mint wild animals on a live-feed of a watering hole in the Namib Desert with Safaricaster
• make an onchain payment to another user with Paybot
• RSVP to an Eventcaster event
• Yoink the flag in this simple yet viral social game
• generate a Waifu NFT based on your Farcaster profile
