Farcaster Frames Integrates Polygon (MATIC) PoS Transactions, Launches $500k Grants Program

Farcaster
Frames
has
announced
its
integration
with
Polygon
(MATIC)’s
Proof
of
Stake
(PoS)
transactions,
according
to

polygon.technology.
This
development
is
accompanied
by
the
launch
of
a
$500,000
MATIC
Community
Grants
Program
aimed
at
fostering
innovation
among
builders.

Enhanced
Functionality
with
Polygon
PoS

Farcaster
Frames
enables
users
to
perform
various
on-chain
activities
directly
from
their
Farcaster
feed,
such
as
minting
NFTs,
signing
up
for
events,
and
placing
bets
on
prediction
markets.
The
recent
integration
with
Polygon
PoS
will
allow
users
to
execute
these
tasks
more
efficiently
and
cost-effectively.

Polymarket,
a
notable
application
in
the
decentralized
prediction
market,
has
already
built
a
Frame
that
leverages
this
new
functionality.
Users
can
now
make
predictions
directly
through
Polymarket
posts
with
native
Polygon
PoS
integration,
enhancing
the
user
experience.

Community
Grants
Program

To
incentivize
further
development,
the
first
season
of
the
Community
Grants
Program
(CGP)
will
focus
on
Farcaster
Frames
builders.
This
initiative,
powered
by
Gitcoin,
will
distribute
a
pool
of
500,000
MATIC
from
the
Community
Treasury
to
support
innovative
projects.
Applications
for
grants
will
open
in
August,
allowing
developers
to
tap
into
these
funds
to
bring
their
ideas
to
fruition.

What
is
Farcaster
Frames?

Farcaster
Frames
is
a
standard
for
creating
interactive
and
authenticated
experiences
on
the
Farcaster
platform.
Developers
can
use
Frames
to
build
a
variety
of
interactive
elements,
such
as
polls,
live
feeds,
and
galleries,
all
integrated
with
on-chain
functionalities.
The
Frames
standard
extends
the
OpenGraph
protocol,
turning
static
embeds
into
dynamic,
interactive
experiences.

An
example
of
this
capability
is
the
viral
Girl
Scout
cookie
frame,
which
allows
users
to
purchase
cookies
directly
from
their
Farcaster
feed
without
navigating
away
from
the
platform.
Polymarket
has
also
utilized
Farcaster
Frames
to
enable
users
to
register
predictions
within
their
feed,
demonstrating
the
potential
of
this
integration.

The
Polygon
community
is
celebrating
this

will
begin
accepting

boost
to
projects
that
build
with
Farcaster
Frames

Polygon
PoS.

To
