full primer →The primitive.
Musicians mint each sound effect libraries as an ERC-721 token on Sepolia pointing at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp are provable from a single Arbiscan link.
Why this primitiveImmutable token metadata links sound effects to verified creators.
Kernel
an ERC-721 contract on Arbitrum Sepolia that mints a creator-owned token pointing at an IPFS CID, verified on Arbiscan
Drives the UI as
a 'mint to claim authorship' button that returns the tokenId, owner address, and Arbiscan link

Build "Sound Effect Provenance" in ONE Lovable message. Single-page demo.
CONCEPT
Identify and authenticate original sound effect creators with minting onchain tokens.
Discipline: Music & Sound Design (sound effect libraries).
Onchain primitive: NFT provenance mint. Why this primitive: Immutable token metadata links sound effects to verified creators.
5-CREDIT BUDGET (HARD LIMIT):
- ONE single-page app. No router, no Lovable Cloud, no database, no auth flows beyond Privy drop-in.
- ONE Solidity contract, <=80 lines, deployed to Arbitrum Sepolia (chainId 421614), verified on Arbiscan.
- Privy is always the auth + sponsored-tx layer (Google login, embedded wallet).
- Pinata/IPFS only if the idea genuinely needs to store a file or metadata.
- At most ONE AI call per user action (use Lovable AI Gateway with LOVABLE_API_KEY if AI is part of the idea).
- Skip tests, skip CI, skip docs pages. Ship the demo, nothing else.
STACK
- React + Vite single page (the index route).
- Privy embedded wallet wraps `<App />` in src/main.tsx. `defaultChain` needs
`as never` because Privy's type is narrow:
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google'],
embeddedWallets:{ethereum:{createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets'}},
defaultChain: { id: 421614, name:'Arbitrum Sepolia' } as never }}>
- All txs go through Privy sponsorship. BOTH flags are required:
const { sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();
const { wallets } = useWallets();
const embedded = wallets.find(w => w.walletClientType === 'privy');
await sendTransaction(
{ to, data, chainId: 421614 },
{ sponsor: true, address: embedded.address }, // BOTH required
);
Without `address`, Privy can route through a non-embedded wallet and the
user sees "Add funds on Arbitrum Sepolia" even on testnet.
- Privy dashboard (one-time): enable Arbitrum Sepolia under Chains AND add a
Gas Sponsorship (Paymasters) policy for chainId 421614 — "Sponsor all
transactions" is fine for a hackathon demo. Code flags alone are not enough.
- src/lib/pinata.ts uploads via `fetch('https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinFileToIPFS', { method:'POST', headers:{ Authorization: `Bearer ${import.meta.env.VITE_PINATA_JWT}` }, body: fd })`.
- Hardhat in /contracts (kept outside the Vite bundle). Install
`@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers` AND `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify` (>=2.x).
DO NOT install `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox` — it drags Hardhat 3 peers.
- hardhat.config.cjs — Arbitrum Sepolia + Etherscan v2 single-key:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
const pk = process.env.DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY || process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY;
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: { optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 } } },
networks: { arbitrumSepolia: {
url: process.env.ARBITRUM_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL || "https://sepolia-rollup.arbitrum.io/rpc",
accounts: pk ? [pk.startsWith("0x") ? pk : "0x" + pk] : [],
chainId: 421614,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, // single Etherscan v2 key covers Arbiscan
// MUST be a plain string, not { arbitrumSepolia: ... }
customChains: [{
network: "arbitrumSepolia", chainId: 421614,
urls: {
apiURL: "https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=421614",
browserURL: "https://sepolia.arbiscan.io",
},
}],
},
sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- scripts/deploy.cjs — deploy AND write src/data/contract.json so the UI wires
up with no manual paste:
const hre = require("hardhat");
const fs = require("fs"); const path = require("path");
async function main() {
const c = await hre.ethers.deployContract("SoundEffectProvenance");
await c.waitForDeployment();
const address = await c.getAddress();
const deployTx = c.deploymentTransaction().hash;
fs.mkdirSync(path.join(__dirname, "..", "src", "data"), { recursive: true });
fs.writeFileSync(
path.join(__dirname, "..", "src", "data", "contract.json"),
JSON.stringify({
address, deployTx, chainId: 421614, network: "arbitrumSepolia",
deployedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
explorer: `https://sepolia.arbiscan.io/address/${address}`,
}, null, 2) + "\n",
);
console.log("deployed", address);
}
main().catch(e => { console.error(e); process.exit(1); });
- Run order (single burst):
bunx hardhat compile
bunx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network arbitrumSepolia
bunx hardhat verify --network arbitrumSepolia <address>
On verify success it prints "Successfully verified contract … on the block
explorer" and the source is readable at
`https://sepolia.arbiscan.io/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Arbitrum Sepolia RPC too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: arbitrumSepolia, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_ARBITRUM_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL) })`
(import `arbitrumSepolia` from `viem/chains`).
Expose the RPC to the client by also setting VITE_ARBITRUM_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL to the same value.
- The UI imports `src/data/contract.json` directly — no env var, no manual paste —
and links to `https://sepolia.arbiscan.io/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned on Arbitrum Sepolia.
2. After the user creates a sound effect libraries artefact, pin the file to IPFS via Pinata, then call `mint(cid)` on the deployed contract through Privy's sponsored transaction. Show tokenId, IPFS preview (`https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/<cid>`), and Arbiscan mint-tx link.
3. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"

- PRIVY_APP_ID Google sign-in + sponsored tx. In the Privy dashboard you MUST:
(1) enable Arbitrum Sepolia (421614) under Chains, AND
(2) add a Gas Sponsorship (Paymasters) policy for 421614
("Sponsor all transactions" is fine for a hackathon demo).
Code flags alone are NOT enough — both dashboard toggles are required.
