Frame provenance gets a tiny Solidity contract deployed to Ethereum Sepolia; filmmakers see a 'verified onchain' badge with the live contract address and a one-tap Etherscan link.
Why this primitiveSepolia smart contracts provide transparent, tamper-proof recording of frame ownership and modifications.

CONCEPT
Verify animation frames' originality and authorship on an immutable blockchain ledger.
Discipline: Filmmaking & Animation (frame provenance).
Onchain primitive: Sepolia smart contract. Why this primitive: Sepolia smart contracts provide transparent, tamper-proof recording of frame ownership and modifications.
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 Base Sepolia (chainId 84532), verified on BaseScan.
- 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 — NATIVE Privy gas sponsorship on Base Sepolia (no ZeroDev,
no smart-account SDK, no bundler). The EOA embedded wallet is the tx sender;
Privy's paymaster covers gas so the user sees US$0.00.
- `defaultChain` and `supportedChains` MUST be a REAL viem `defineChain` object,
not a `{ id, name }` stub (a stub compiles but breaks embedded-wallet transport init):
import { defineChain } from "viem";
const baseSepolia = defineChain({
id: 84532, name: "Base Sepolia",
nativeCurrency: { name: "Ether", symbol: "ETH", decimals: 18 },
rpcUrls: { default: { http: [import.meta.env.VITE_BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL || "https://sepolia.base.org"] } },
blockExplorers: { default: { name: "BaseScan", url: "https://sepolia.basescan.org" } },
});
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google'],
embeddedWallets:{ ethereum:{ createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets' } },
defaultChain: baseSepolia as never,
supportedChains: [baseSepolia] as never }}>
- IMPORTANT — Privy mount must be LAZY + CLIENT-ONLY (`@privy-io/react-auth` crashes
under SSR): load `PrivyProvider` via `lazy(() => import('./privy-client-entry'))`
inside `<ClientOnly><Suspense>` in a `privy-root.tsx`. Never import
`@privy-io/react-auth` at module scope of a route file.
- EVERY tx call passes `{ sponsor: true }` AND `address: embedded.address`:
import { useSendTransaction, useWallets } from "@privy-io/react-auth";
const { sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();
const embedded = wallets.find(w => w.walletClientType === "privy");
const receipt = await sendTransaction(
{ to: CONTRACT_ADDRESS, data, chainId: 84532 },
{ address: embedded.address, sponsor: true },
);
Without `sponsor: true` Privy silently falls back to user-paid gas.
Without `address` Privy may route through a non-embedded wallet and prompt.
- Wrap the `sendTransaction` call in a 45s `Promise.race` timeout whose rejection
message names the two required Privy dashboard settings (below), so the failure
mode is diagnosable from the UI.
- PRIVY DASHBOARD (required, one-time, in the Privy console for VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID):
1. Chains -> add Base Sepolia (84532) AND toggle
"Allow transactions from the client" ON. Without this, `sendTransaction`
hangs forever with no error.
2. Gas Sponsorship -> add a Base Sepolia policy (unlimited or capped).
Without it, embedded wallets need native ETH for gas and hit
"insufficient funds" before the tx ever lands.
- 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 — Base Sepolia + Etherscan v2 single-key:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
const pk = process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY;
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: { optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 } } },
networks: { baseSepolia: {
url: process.env.BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL || "https://sepolia.base.org",
accounts: pk ? [pk.startsWith("0x") ? pk : "0x" + pk] : [],
chainId: 84532,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, // single Etherscan v2 key covers BaseScan
customChains: [{
network: "baseSepolia", chainId: 84532,
urls: {
apiURL: "https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=84532",
browserURL: "https://sepolia.basescan.org",
},
}],
},
sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network baseSepolia`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network baseSepolia <address>`
On success it prints "Successfully verified contract … on the block explorer"
and the source becomes readable at
`https://sepolia.basescan.org/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Base Sepolia RPC too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: baseSepolia, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL) })`
(import `baseSepolia` from `viem/chains`).
Expose the RPC to the client by also setting VITE_BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://sepolia.basescan.org/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned on Base Sepolia.
2. User performs a frame provenance action; the app calls `log(payload)` on the contract via Privy sponsored tx and shows the BaseScan link as proof.
3. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
