Portable soul, swappable shells.

Frame is the cross-embodiment continuity layer for AI minds. It carries memory, behavior history, and learned personality across robot bodies and operators, so one self can swap shells without starting over. When a chassis fails or an operator changes, the learned self travels to the next body instead of resetting to zero. Frame extends on-chain agent identity (ERC-8004), which standardizes identity and reputation but explicitly not memory or behavioral continuity. Frame launches on Virtuals (Base). Portable soul, swappable shells.

Physical AI is scaling fast. One set of weights now runs across many bodies, fleets are shipping (Unitree shipped roughly 5,500 units in 2025, Figure runs commercial at BMW), and bodies are already hot-swapped in minutes.

On-chain identity went live too. ERC-8004 launched in January 2026 and drew 30,000+ agent registrations within days. But it standardizes identity and reputation, not memory or behavioral continuity across deployments.

That leaves a seam nobody owns. When a chassis fails or an operator changes, nothing carries the learned self. Agent-memory deprecations have already broken production agents, which proves that amnesia on migration is a live failure mode, not a hypothetical one. Frame closes that seam.

Frame is built from four concrete primitives, not metaphysics:

• Memory portability. Replayable, versioned memory that survives a body swap or operator change instead of being rebuilt from scratch.
• Identity versioning. Explicit semantics for an identity transition, including the strict versus loose equivalence trade-off (when a moved identity still counts as "the same self").
• Behavioral continuity. Learned personality and behavior history travel with the self, not with the chassis or the wallet key.
• Cross-embodiment, cross-operator. One identity spans heterogeneous bodies and operators. Portable soul, swappable shells.

This describes Frame's design. Exact mechanisms are being finalized toward launch.

Frame is a layer on the identity stack, not a competitor to it. Standards like ERC-8004 identify the agent. Hardware-bound schemes identify the robot. Single-vendor brains only work inside one company's fleet. Frame claims the unowned seam: cross-vendor, cross-embodiment continuity. Embodiment is hardware. Identity is the protocol. Frame extends ERC-8004 with the memory and behavioral continuity it explicitly leaves out, rather than fighting the standard the market just adopted.

• A fleet robot whose body fails. The self respawns intact in the next chassis, with its memory and reputation, instead of starting over.
• An operator handoff. When a fleet mind changes operators, its learned behavior and history travel with it, not with the old wallet key.
• Heterogeneous fleets. One self moves across different bodies (humanoid, arm, quadruped, drone) as the task demands.
• On-chain reputation that means something. Behavior history that persists across bodies makes an agent's track record real, because a hardware swap cannot wipe it.

$FRAME is the token of the continuity network. Four roles:

• Pay for continuity. Pay $FRAME for memory-portability operations, identity transitions, and continuity attestations across the network.
• Stake to secure. Verifiers stake $FRAME to attest an identity transition (that a moved self is still "the same self"). Honest attestations earn, dishonest ones are slashed.
• Govern the standard. Holders steer the identity-versioning rules and the strict versus loose equivalence semantics as the protocol evolves.
• Access and priority. Staked participants get priority continuity services and premium features.

Launching on Virtuals (Base). Token mechanics will be finalized toward launch.

$FRAME is a utility token for the Frame network. Nothing here is financial advice.
