frames

tl;dr for me why you think Farcaster Frames will be so powerful

It's probably going to fall over immediately due to how small of a server instance this is, but here you go, Doom in a Frame:

‘frames turn casts into interactive apps’

just one illustrative example: ticker frames could allow you to view charts and buy tokens within a social context. 

it’ll take some time before it really gets good imo. but having a social layer coupled with other cases make farcaster a lot more powerful

Imagine not having to leave the app to drain a wallet.

hubs make the data layer open

frames make the client layer open

the walls of the garden come tumbling down

interactive inline content mixed with verifiable creds

they multiply

The social meets the value layer

Unlocks shift from passive to active consumption, less clicks to actions

Somewhat analogous to potential of Telegram mini apps but with more cryptonative developer mindshare building these experiences that can more uniquely leverage benefits of crypto

The way I am seeing it, it just ain't about the tip, it is about the entire iceberg. The decentralized identity of a Farcaster user means something (unlike a Twitter username) onchain - ownership of NFTs, attestations, votes, etc. It is an entirely new design space for curated engagement with least friction for user.

Discord bots are good enough that Midjourney built a unicorn (? or close to it) with no other interface. Frames are similar, but the user interactions are cryptographically verifiable.

Reducing friction to a user’s first interaction with your product is huge.
