    There is an ongoing interest in classification of vertex algebras of certain type. From this point of view, the most prominent algebras are of course holomorphic ones with \(c=24\), moonshine module \(V^\natural\) being the key example. A while ago \textit{C. Dong, G. Mason} and \textit{Y. Zhu} [Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 56, Part 2, 295--316 (1994; Zbl 0813.17019)] proved that the moonshine module is an example of what is now called a \textit{framed} VOA, meaning that it decomposes into a direct sum of the tensor product of minimal models of \(c=\frac{1}{2}\). In this paper several additional examples of framed holomorphic VOAs with \(c=24\) are constructed. It is then important to identify the graded component \(V_1\), which is known to be a semisimple or abelian Lie algebra. The author obtained an explicit decomposition in each case. These vertex algebras correspond to numbers \(7,10,18,19,26,33,35,40,48\) and 56 on the Schellekens' list [\textit{A. N. Schellekens}, Commun. Math. Phys. 153, 159--185 (1993; Zbl 0782.17014)].
