CONCEPT
Securely timestamp and prove original poem authorship on the blockchain to prevent plagiarism.
Discipline: Writing, Poetry & Narrative (poetry archiving).
Onchain primitive: Sepolia smart contract. Why this primitive: Immutable contract records create verifiable proof of original literary creation dates.
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 Polygon Amoy (chainId 80002), verified on PolygonScan.
- 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:
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google'], embeddedWallets:{ethereum:{createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets'}},
defaultChain:{ id: 80002, name:'Polygon Amoy' } }}>
SPONSORED TX (required — zero-gas UX):
- Get the embedded wallet: `const { wallets } = useWallets(); const embedded = wallets.find(w => w.walletClientType === 'privy');`
- Send with BOTH `address` and `sponsor: true`, otherwise Privy falls back to user-paid and pops "Add funds on Polygon Amoy":
const { sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();
await sendTransaction(
{ to: CONTRACT_ADDRESS, data, chainId: 80002 },
{ address: embedded.address, sponsor: true },
);
- `sponsor: true` alone is not enough — the Privy dashboard sponsorship policy must be enabled for Polygon Amoy (see PRIVY DASHBOARD SETUP).
PRIVY DASHBOARD SETUP (one-time, at https://dashboard.privy.io for the app matching PRIVY_APP_ID):
1. Gas Sponsorship -> Add chain -> Polygon Amoy (chainId 80002).
2. Toggle "App pays" for that chain.
3. Enable "Allow transactions from the client".
4. Fund the sponsorship balance with a small amount of MATIC on Amoy (Privy shows the deposit address).
Without these four steps every `sponsor: true` call falls back to user-paid gas.
- 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 — Polygon Amoy + 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: { polygonAmoy: {
url: process.env.POLYGON_AMOY_RPC_URL || "https://rpc-amoy.polygon.technology",
accounts: pk ? [pk.startsWith("0x") ? pk : "0x" + pk] : [],
chainId: 80002,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, // single Etherscan v2 key covers PolygonScan
customChains: [{
network: "polygonAmoy", chainId: 80002,
urls: {
apiURL: "https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=80002",
browserURL: "https://amoy.polygonscan.com",
},
}],
},
sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network polygonAmoy`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network polygonAmoy <address>`
On success it prints "Successfully verified contract … on the block explorer"
and the source becomes readable at
`https://amoy.polygonscan.com/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Polygon Amoy RPC too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: polygonAmoy, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_POLYGON_AMOY_RPC_URL) })`
(import `polygonAmoy` from `viem/chains`).
Expose the RPC to the client by also setting VITE_POLYGON_AMOY_RPC_URL to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://amoy.polygonscan.com/address/<address>`.

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