full primer →The primitive.
Painters mint each art mentorship proof as an ERC-721 token on Plasma Testnet pointing at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp are provable from a single Plasmascan link.
Why this primitiveERC-721 tokens create verifiable mentorship provenance anchored on the blockchain.
Kernel
an ERC-721 contract on Plasma Testnet that mints a creator-owned token pointing at an IPFS CID, verified on Plasmascan
Drives the UI as
a 'mint to claim authorship' button that returns the tokenId, owner address, and Plasmascan link

Exported from MetaMask. Fund on Plasma Testnet via openfaucet.org (free XPL).

CONCEPT
Mint NFTs to certify mentorship lineage and creative influence among artists.
Discipline: Visual Art (art mentorship proof).
Onchain primitive: NFT provenance mint. Why this primitive: ERC-721 tokens create verifiable mentorship provenance anchored on the blockchain.
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 Plasma Testnet, verified on Plasmascan.
- Privy is the auth layer (Google login, embedded wallet). Users pay their own gas in XPL.
- 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).
- Target chain is **Plasma Testnet** (chainId 9746, native token XPL, ~1s blocks,
full EVM). RPC: https://testnet-rpc.plasma.to. Explorer: https://testnet.plasmascan.to.
Faucet: https://openfaucet.org/.
- Define the chain inline for viem (Privy accepts any viem chain, no built-in export needed):
const plasmaTestnet = {
id: 9746, name: 'Plasma Testnet',
nativeCurrency: { name: 'XPL', symbol: 'XPL', decimals: 18 },
rpcUrls: { default: { http: [import.meta.env.VITE_PLASMA_RPC_URL || 'https://testnet-rpc.plasma.to'] } },
blockExplorers: { default: { name: 'Plasmascan', url: 'https://testnet.plasmascan.to' } },
} as const;
- SSR-safe Privy mount is mandatory. Never import @privy-io/react-auth at
module scope of a route file — it crashes SSR. Use
lazy(() => import('./privy-client-entry')) inside <ClientOnly> + <Suspense>,
and put <PrivyProvider> only inside privy-client-entry.tsx.
- PrivyProvider config — pass the plasmaTestnet chain via supportedChains and
defaultChain so the embedded wallet lands on the right network:
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google','email'],
supportedChains:[plasmaTestnet], defaultChain: plasmaTestnet,
embeddedWallets:{ ethereum:{ createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets' } },
appearance:{ theme:'dark' } }}>
- Read the embedded wallet from useWallets, not user.wallet:
const embedded = wallets.find(w => w.walletClientType === 'privy');
- Every send goes through Privy `useSendTransaction` with `address` and
`chainId: 9746`. Do NOT pass `sponsor: true` — Privy's native gas sponsorship
does not cover Plasma; users pay their own XPL. Wrap the call in a 45s
Promise.race timeout that tells the user to top up XPL if their balance is 0:
await Promise.race([
sendTransaction(
{ to, data, chainId: 9746 },
{ address: embedded.address }
),
new Promise((_, r) => setTimeout(() => r(new Error(
"Plasma tx timed out. Check the embedded wallet has XPL from https://openfaucet.org/"
)), 45_000)),
]);
- Preflight: before calling sendTransaction, read the wallet's XPL balance via
a viem publicClient({ chain: plasmaTestnet, transport: http() }). If it's 0,
render a toast + inline banner with a copy-address button and a link to
https://openfaucet.org/ so the user can drip XPL to themselves.
- Do NOT pass uiOptions:{ showWalletUIs:false } — it aborts with
"signal is aborted without reason". The approval sheet is fine.
- Do NOT add ZeroDev / SmartWalletsProvider / any paymaster URL. Plasma
Testnet uses simple EOA transactions.
- 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 lives in /contracts (kept outside the Vite bundle). Install
`@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox` and `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify@latest`.
- hardhat.config.cjs — Plasma Testnet network + Plasmascan (Etherscan-compatible) verify:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: { optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 } } },
networks: { plasmaTestnet: {
url: process.env.PLASMA_RPC_URL || "https://testnet-rpc.plasma.to",
accounts: [process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY.startsWith("0x")

sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network plasmaTestnet`.
- Verify (right after deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network plasmaTestnet <address>`
Source becomes readable at `https://testnet.plasmascan.to/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads via viem: `createPublicClient({ chain: plasmaTestnet,
transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_PLASMA_RPC_URL) })`. Expose the RPC to
the client by also setting VITE_PLASMA_RPC_URL to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://testnet.plasmascan.to/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned on Plasma Testnet.
2. If wallet XPL balance is 0, show the openfaucet.org top-up banner with copy-address.
3. After the user creates a art mentorship proof artefact, pin the file to IPFS via Pinata, then call `mint(cid)` on the deployed contract through Privy's embedded wallet. Show tokenId, IPFS preview (`https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/<cid>`), and a Plasmascan mint-tx link.
4. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
