# Syndicate

Syndicate enables developers to create appchains with programmable onchain sequencers and community ownership.

Syndicate is building infrastructure to power the next wave of onchain platforms and products that reach mainstream scale. Our modular end-to-end infrastructure abstracts the complexity of sending onchain transactions and decreases development time — making it easier, cheaper and faster for developers to build, launch and grow onchain products at any scale.

(Node Hosting, Discontinued)
- [Frame API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Syndicate): Frame API connects Farcaster Frames to onchain actions through Syndicate's Transaction Cloud, enabling social media interactions to trigger blockchain transactions on Syndicate Frame Chain, Base, or Degen Chain with sponsored gas. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Syndicate Frame Chain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Syndicate): Syndicate Frame Chain is an OP Stack L3 built on Base with Celestia for data availability, providing free gas for Frame developers and enabling high-throughput social blockchain applications with extremely low transaction costs. (L3, Live)
- [Mirrors](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Syndicate): Mirrors enables cross-chain data synchronization by listening to blockchain events or polling HTTP resources and broadcasting transactions to target blockchains, facilitating the creation of interoperable cross-chain applications.

## Assets

- [Syndicate Genesis (SYNG)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Syndicate): SYNG is an ERC-721 NFT collection representing membership in Syndicate's early community. It is built using the ERC-721M standard developed by Syndicate, featuring a modular design that allows for the exchange of custom plugins and metadata renderers within contracts. The collection serves as a social protocol that enables onchain social networks with ERC-721M NFTs, allowing holders to participate in Syndicate's ecosystem as it builds infrastructure for programmable appchains and onchain sequencers.
