A Polkadot parachain for decentralized social networking, Frequency supports the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) to deliver portable, user-owned identities and scalable messaging with FREQ.
Frequency is a Polkadot parachain mainnet purpose-built for the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), with FREQ as the native fee token. It provides protocol-native social primitives—handles, a public-key directory, portable social graphs, attestations, and content anchoring—so teams can build social apps, messaging, reputation, and consent-management with sponsor-funded, gasless UX.
Frequency is optimized for decentralized social rather than general-purpose smart contracts: weight-based fees in FREQ (no EVM gas auctions), sponsor-covered Capacity for near-zero end-user costs, and privacy-preserving off-chain content anchored on-chain. Key metrics for comparison: ~6s block time as a Polkadot parachain, deterministic low fees (weight-priced in FREQ), TPS determined by Substrate weights and tuned for high-volume lightweight social actions, and active mainnet usage by DSNP apps such as MeWe.
Frequency uses FREQ as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain FREQ by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge FREQ to Frequency, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Frequency as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Frequency you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Frequency to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send FREQ on Frequency, ensure your wallet is connected to the Frequency network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of FREQ to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
