Frame

Abstract

1. Introduction

Frame is a web3 platform that creates a secure system-wide interface to your chains and accounts. Now any browser, command-line, or native application has the ability to access web3.

2. Objective

System-wide Web3 for macOS, Windows and Linux

This project demonstrates how JavaScript, Ethereum, Web3 can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• First-class Hardware Signer Support
• Use your GridPlus, Ledger and Trezor accounts with any dapp!
• Extensive Software Signer Support
• Use a mnemonic phrase, keystore.json or standalone private keys to create and backup accounts!
