We're considering ending support for v1 Frames in 3 months. 

Why? 
- It has little usage; most devs moved to miniapps 
- It simplifies the protocol for client builders + new devs. 
- It simplifies the UX for users. Only one type of "app" in the feed. 

Over 90% of devs we polled support this decision.

Frame v1 was suboptimal because it used images as transport, and all the power of the Mini-App is backed by Iframe which is a much better transport, plus it allows client-only code and any kind of UI.

That being said, when you open an Iframe, the potential for abuse is smaller since the Iframe at least starts from user interaction. 

But is trivial for a bad actor to kill the client by running malicious resource-consuming code like an event bomb to kill the main thread and crash everything, so it means that Iframes directly in the feed is a big no, no, so that's the reality people will have to settle with these MiniApps that have huge potential only after you open/first interacted with them, is a good-enough primitive.
