Open actions are smart contract calls that are embedded into a publication. A Lens Publication can be a post, comment, quote, or mirror. The open action defines the action module (such as tipping) and parameters which makes the action unique to a publication (such as the tip receiver address).
Create a publication and attach this module to enable tips to be collected to a receiver address.
Frames are a way to embed an interactive image and buttons into a post. If a post contains a URL which contains special OpenGraph (og) tags the image and button(s) are embedded into the app. When a button is pressed it sends a POST request to either the original URL or a custom defined fc:post-url , this endpoint can validate that the request originated from a Farcaster fid, perform any action, and can update the image and button(s).
Embed a poll in a post with votes validated by Farcaster fid.
