FrameHack
# FrameHack is at it second edition now and fully prepared to incentivize and deliver Frames that explicitly use 🟪 Polygon.

Started as an effort by 🚂 FrameTrain aka "Canvas for Frames" just a few months ago, it has proved to be a success from the first edition, more than doubling the number of templates on FrameTrain.

No only that, but some really killer templates were created like the Figma template which allows for Frames to be created using your existing Figma artboards.

# (Frame) Templates are much more powerful than Frames. 

Depending on their purpose, **Frames as we know them have a number of downsides: they're one time use** (a novelty, like a "roast me" frame), **lack customization options** (like those you repost and their content changes, but there's no way to customize it like you customize a Canva template), or **requires the person to self host the code** (if someone created an open source Swap frame that I want to use for my own project).

Templates do not suffer from any of these downsides, while keeping their code open source and all the standard benefits of Frames. On 🚂 FrameTrain you can create Frames w/out code straight from a template, just like Canva. In essence this results in thousands of different Frames created from one template.

This is possible due to FrameTrain's architecture, which can be better understood by going to the Github repo, as the project is fully open source (and templates live in the same repository).

We clarify that this proposal is strictly for FrameHack #2, and *the entire grant amount goes directly to winners*.

More info about the first edition can be found here: [github.com/FTCHD/frametrain/wiki/[HACKATHONS]-FrameHack-%231](http://github.com/FTCHD/frametrain/wiki/%5BHACKATHONS%5D-FrameHack-%231)

We **guarantee** the following templates will be created during FrameHack #2:

- **Ask Me Template**: A Frame that allows you to pay the original caster in order to answer your question, similar to [ask.fm](http://ask.fm) but onchain.
- **Bet Template**: Place a bet with a counterparty and pay if they win/get paid if you win, all in a Frame!
- **Airdrop Template**: Run an airdrop and let people claim it straight from a Frame.
- **Ad Spot Template**: Pin this Frame on your Farcaster profile and let others bid on it to show their own image, essentially renting ad space on your profile.
- **NFT Store Template**: An NFT shop inside a Frame, which allows you to list any NFT and have other users buy it directly from a Frame.
- **Copytrade Template**: Allows anyone else to copy your portfolio by swapping the tokens in their wallet, to the tokens in your wallet.

All of the templates above and the Frames resulting from them will use and be compatible with 🟪 Polygon.

You can see the list of tracks for the hackathon on the Issues tab on Github (github.com/FTCHD/frametrain/issues), and more info about the hackathon on the Wiki (github.com/FTCHD/frametrain/wiki/%5BHACKATHONS%5D-FrameHack-%232). Hackathon information is still WIP and the total pot of $10,000 has not been filled yet.

**Our mission is to create utility, not just novelty that may create transactions for a week or so.**

**Depending on who you are (project/business, builder, normie) these templates bring real value to you, and there’s no other place to get them from.**
