Quick layman explanation on Frame:
- You create site, site has link
- Site has meta frame tags
- You post site link to FC client
- Client parses the meta tags
- If supported, will embed the Frame, if not fallback to simple embed
- Click Button will send POST to site link
- Response from site is HTML with new frame

Wrap your head around frames

Frames are a brand new feature that allow mini-app like interactivity within casts. 

This cast from @king does a great job breaking down how they work

0. Connect an address asap. 

I had thought my custody addy was sufficient for the festivities, but you’ll want another for top fun.

Another great tip.

Think of it as an in game currency you can buy, use and earn (just sent you a tip). 

You'll need them to do specific things on the app, like start a channel, mint an NFT or connect your account to other applications. 

When using the web version, you'll see a link in the sidebar. Buy them there.

Is there a chronological option to view channels? Thanks for the info.

“Warp your head around frames and get based” 


Wait, what?😵‍💫

They're usually minted on base and sent to your attached wallet (go to settings and add your address there). 

Most are just low effort growth hack stuff, some are not hough. 

The original was the Frame NFT by @jacopo.eth

Need help understanding frames. Especially the NFT mint ones commonly seen that ask for a re-cast to mint. Where exactly are they minted and where do they go. Thanks for any feedback

What are Warps?

Simple: Makes it easier to add a Farcaster app.

Advanced: Another way to pay to connect a Farcaster app (which has an underlying onchain transaction) that is not an in-app $0.99 payment but is compliant with App Store rules.

Theres a chance you might have been muted or marked as spam? Is that a potential issue? Where you doing something silly at any point (follow for follow, spamming channels etc?)

Are there any known Warpcast support yet? I have a problem where all my posts to channels being invisible. 

Thankful for any ideas on how to solve this.

There’s a quality bar.

Hi @jess. Where can we read the rules of Farcaster channel?
We just received the warning for our Airdrop post here that we do every 24 hours to decentralize our GameFi Staking space.

We would appreciate your response. Thank you!

I’m not a channel host. But posting airdrop shills (regardless of your intent) will get a warning in many channels.

Farcaster channel is not an announcement channel. It’s a place to share topics directly related to FC.

I mentioned this a few times but replying to other people’s cast thoughtfully also gets you bonus points here.
