## Abstract
This XIP explores the new tooling required for XMTP apps to render and interact with Frames inside XMTP conversations. The XIP also takes a deep dive into the Farcaster Frames specification and evaluates its compatibility with XMTP.
## Motivation
Developers building with XMTP have been asking for a way to embed generic interactive content into messages for a long time. [XMTP Content Types](../XIPs/xip-5-message-content-types.md) make sense for the head-of-the-curve use cases (such as replies, reactions, and media embeds) where requirements are well known ahead of time, but there is a very long tail of developer demands. Making app devs support hundreds of different content types to handle all those needs would never be a practical solution. We need a “one size fits all” way of enabling the long tail.
