Frame Developer Prerelease

The first official Frame release is here, the developer prerelease!

Frame is an OS-level Ethereum interface that connects users and hardware signers to facilitate secure, transparent dapp interactions. Since Frame lives at the OS-level, it isn’t dependent on a browser or extension store and works with any type of dapp — be it web, desktop or even command line. Frame currently supports macOS, Linux and Windows along with Ledger and Trezor hardware signers.

The developer prerelease is a testnet only release of Frame and is an opportunity for developers to test Frame with their dapps before it moves to the mainnet. After working for months to get to this point I’m excited to start gathering feedback from the community to help shape the future of Frame.

Providing users (especially non-technical users) with a secure and reliable dapp experience is important for adoption. Hardware signers provide a great foundation for this and Frame makes it easy to use them with any dapp. With the help of hardware makers, we will keep improving these integrations and continue innovating on what’s possible.

To get started using Frame visit https://frame.sh

If you’d like to use Frame with existing web dapps you can do so by running Frame and using the Frame browser extension. You can also connect to Frame without the need for a browser extension by pointing a provider to ws://127.0.0.1:1248 or by using eth-provider as a drop-in replacement.
