I don't know a frame is and by this point I am too afraid to ask.

Basically, Frames are NFTs you acquire by simply pressing the “Mint” (or equivalent) button on the screen of the Warpast app (or alternative Farcaster client). You don’t even need Warps for this; that 1 click sends the Frame straight to the Ethereum address linked to your Farcaster account.

Onboarding, onchain privacy with accountability, crypto law, and emergent use-cases in Ethereum. Currently on a break.

They are also being used for other gas-free interactions on Farcaster, including surveys, polls and the like where respondents click a series of buttons.

Then there are usecases I've yet to grasp, like turning casts into Frames to embed in casts. Which could be useful as attestation or recasting with a cleaner UI?

Thank you very much for the response.

Do frames have any other functions?
