What is Frame?
Frame is a modern, privacy-focused Ethereum wallet designed to offer a comprehensive web3 experience directly from your desktop. Unlike traditional browser extensions, Frame functions as a native desktop application, providing a secure and user-friendly interface for managing your accounts, tokens, and NFTs across multiple blockchain networks.
Frame emphasizes privacy and security by allowing users to customize their wallet to their specific needs, including configuring RPCs and dApps. The wallet decodes transaction calldata locally using verified ABIs, offering detailed summaries of transactions to enhance transparency and security.
One of Frame's standout features is its Omnichain architecture, which allows users to operate across multiple chains simultaneously without the need to manually switch between them. This makes the user experience seamless and enables dApp developers to design truly multichain experiences. For instance, users can interact with decentralized exchanges or other DeFi protocols across different EVM chains like Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and more, all from a single interface.
Frame supports extensive hardware wallet integration, ensuring reliable connections with devices like Ledger, Trezor, and Gridplus. It also offers a companion browser extension for compatibility with legacy dApps that may not natively support Frame, allowing users to “appear as MetaMask” if needed for broader compatibility.
The platform is open-source, with its code available on GitHub, and undergoes regular security audits by leading firms such as Cure53 and Doyensec. This commitment to transparency and community involvement underscores Frame's dedication to providing a secure and user-friendly wallet experience.
Frame is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible to a wide range of users. It supports over 100 different blockchain networks, allowing users to manage their assets and interact with dApps seamlessly across these networks.
