A new and improved version of Frames will allow users to run full-screen applications inside the social media platform Warpcast.
Dan Romero, the founder of the decentralized Web3 social protocol Farcaster, has detailed an update to Frames, which once spiked the protocol’s users by 400% in a week.
“A new Frame standard that allows interactive applications, onchain transactions, and user notifications would enable many new kinds of social applications,” Romero said while introducing the specification for Frames v2 on X on Nov. 26.
Launched in Jan. 2024, Farcaster Frames are one of the reasons for the layer-2 Optimism-based protocol’s surge in popularity, as they solved some of the initial issues by enabling users to run small apps inside of posts on the social media application Warpcast.
