At the beginning of this year, Farcaster released Frames. Frames turn any post in Farcaster’s social feed into an interactive app. Since then, we’ve seen an explosion of Frames onto the scene, including token swap frames, wallet activity frames, social engagement frames, and many more.

At the same time, Farcaster growth has skyrocketed, with Daily Active Users (DAU) reaching a peak of 50k casters in April.

We're awarding 20k DEGEN each to the top 3 most interesting Actions or Frames using 0x API. Check out more details on Warpcast.

In this post, we’ll highlight some exciting Frames powered by 0x for inspiration, a few of which came from the Frame bounty we launched in March, as well as resources you can use to build Frames of your own.

Frames powered by 0x

Paycaster

Paycaster offers the core building blocks to swap, send, and receive token payments, and grow revenue on Farcaster. Users can easily call these functions by tagging @swapbot and @paybot directly in the social feed.

@swapbot offers an easy way to swap tokens directly in the Farcaster feed. This is useful for users who are part of communities that have a token and want to be able to buy them directly without having to leave the app. Token swaps are powered by the 0x Swap API.

‍

‍

@paybot enables users to make payments directly in the Farcaster feed. This is beneficial to users who want to pay other users on the platform for products, services, raffles, bounties, giveaways, and tipping.

Airstack

Airstack offers robust developer tools for creating on-chain applications, including a suite of Farcaster development tools (e.g. frames validator, no-code frames) and compatibility APIs for various platforms including Ethereum, Base, Zora, Degen, XMTP, and Lens. Their advanced abstraction modules also help simplify adding features such as Trending Casts, Swaps, Tokens, and Mints to any app.

‍

‍

Airstack has also introduced a no-code Farcaster Frame that enables anyone to share Trending Swaps on the Base blockchain. Users are able to swap directly in the Frame, which is powered on the backend by 0x. You can see it in action here on Farcaster and configure your own on Airstack!

Matcha Wallet Activity Frame

Matcha, a DEX aggregator, built a Frame that rewards Farcaster users who have traded on Matcha with tokens they can claim directly in-frame. When users click the Frame, it connects to the wallet address connected to their Farcaster account and checks whether or not the address qualifies for the reward.

‍

‍

Matcha’s first launched this Frame to anyone who swapped more than $5 using Matcha Auto on Base, and ended up giving away over 2.5 Million $DEGEN to their followers! Since then, they’ve launched multiple variations on other chains with claims for WETH or WBTC swaps.

Token Swap Frame

Frame Swap, built by @greg, allows users to swap ETH for ERC20 tokens directly. It’s configured to support a few Farcaster-native memecoins, but it can be modified to generate a Frame for any ERC20 token on Base or Optimism.

Token Price Check and Swap

This Frame started by only showing the specified token price, but it has grown to enable buying with ETH, as well as displaying the token price chart, market cap, and volume.

‍

‍

In addition, @iamng also provides a service called Freddie Trade to set up a Frame that shows the latest market price and allow users to buy directly in-frame.
