Frame Labs

Frame Labs is an open-source development collective whose sole public offering, Frame, positions itself as a privacy-centric gateway to decentralized networks. Built for crypto-native users, the application bundles an Ethereum and IPFS node manager, a key vault, and a transaction-signing layer into one lightweight desktop shell. Instead of routing traffic through third-party RPC endpoints, Frame lets operators spin up local or custom remote connections, giving dApp developers, DAO contributors, and NFT traders granular control over latency, censorship resistance, and data leakage. The wallet side of the program supports hardware signers, multi-chain address books, and transparent transaction decoding so that complex smart-contract calls can be reviewed in human-readable form before confirmation. Typical workflows include deploying contracts from Hardhat or Foundry, signing gasless snapshots for governance portals, and streaming IPFS assets for metadata-heavy marketplaces, all without leaving the unified interface. Because every module is published under permissive licenses, security researchers and protocol teams frequently fork the codebase to embed white-label signing flows inside their own products. Frame Labs’ software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and allowing batch installation alongside other applications.
