Supply chain transparency gets a tiny Solidity contract deployed to Arbitrum Sepolia; painters see a 'verified onchain' badge with the live contract address and a one-tap Arbiscan link.
Why this primitiveSepolia contracts provide immutable supply chain transparency for art materials.

CONCEPT
Track and verify the ethical sourcing and usage of materials in visual artworks onchain.
Discipline: Visual Art (supply chain transparency).
Onchain primitive: Arbitrum Sepolia smart contract. Why this primitive: Sepolia contracts provide immutable supply chain transparency for art materials.
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.
- 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("MaterialUsageLedger");
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. User performs a supply chain transparency action; the app calls `log(payload)` on the contract via Privy sponsored tx and shows the Arbiscan link as proof.
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.
