Loop Provenance
Pin looped animations on IPFS to provide artists with immutable, reusable animation cycles.

full primer →The primitive.
Every animation loop libraries artefact is pinned to IPFS through Pinata; filmmakers get a permanent CID and a public gateway preview instead of a fragile cloud URL.
Why this primitivePinata JWT enables permanent hosting and easy retrieval of loop animation assets.
Kernel
a Pinata JWT upload that pins images / JSON / manifests to IPFS and returns a permanent CID
Drives the UI as
a 'pinned to IPFS' chip with the CID and an ipfs.io gateway preview
Required keys.
MONAD_RPC_URL
Monad Testnet HTTPS endpoint. Default: https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz — use a provider endpoint for heavier load.

CONCEPT
Pin looped animations on IPFS to provide artists with immutable, reusable animation cycles.
Discipline: Filmmaking & Animation (animation loop libraries).
Onchain primitive: IPFS via Pinata. Why this primitive: Pinata JWT enables permanent hosting and easy retrieval of loop animation assets.
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 Monad Testnet, verified on MonadScan.
- Privy is always the auth + sponsored-tx layer (Google login, embedded wallet). Runtime gas is sponsored by the app — users never touch MON.
- 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).
- 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 a viem `defineChain` for Monad Testnet as
`defaultChain` AND include it in `supportedChains` — Privy rejects unknown
chains. Do NOT stub `defaultChain` as `{ id, name }`:
import { defineChain } from 'viem';
const monadTestnet = defineChain({
id: 10143,
name: 'Monad Testnet',
nativeCurrency: { name: 'Monad', symbol: 'MON', decimals: 18 },
rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz'] } },
blockExplorers: { default: { name: 'MonadExplorer', url: 'https://testnet.monadexplorer.com' } },
});
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google','email'],
embeddedWallets:{ ethereum:{ createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets' } },
appearance:{ theme:'dark' },
defaultChain: monadTestnet,
supportedChains: [monadTestnet] }}>
- Read the embedded wallet from useWallets, not user.wallet:
const embedded = wallets.find(w => w.walletClientType === 'privy');
- Every send goes through Privy `useSendTransaction` with BOTH `address`
and `sponsor: true`, and `chainId: 10143` per-call. Wrap in a 45s
Promise.race timeout whose reject message names the exact dashboard
toggles so the failure mode is self-diagnosing:
await Promise.race([
sendTransaction(
{ to, data, chainId: 10143 },
{ address: embedded.address, sponsor: true }
),
new Promise((_, r) => setTimeout(() => r(new Error(
"Privy sendTransaction timed out after 45s. Enable Gas sponsorship -> App pays -> Monad Testnet -> Allow transactions from the client."
)), 45_000)),
]);
- Do NOT pass uiOptions:{ showWalletUIs:false } — it aborts with
"signal is aborted without reason". The approval sheet still shows on
the embedded-EOA path; the sponsored fee reads US$0.00.
- Do NOT add ZeroDev / Pimlico / SmartWalletsProvider / a paymaster URL.
Privy natively sponsors gas on Monad Testnet with the dashboard toggles
below — no external paymaster stack needed.
- DASHBOARD PREREQUISITE (one-time): Privy dashboard -> Gas sponsorship
-> App pays -> add "Monad Testnet" -> toggle "Allow transactions from
the client" ON. Without this, sendTransaction hangs silently and the
45s timeout above fires with the exact remediation string.
- 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-toolbox` AND `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify@latest`
(>=3.x — older versions still hit Etherscan v1 and fail with
"You are using a deprecated V1 endpoint, switch to Etherscan API V2").
- hardhat.config.cjs uses the Etherscan v2 single-key shape (one key covers
every chain, including MonadScan). Set `bytecodeHash: "ipfs"` so Sourcify
(MonadVision) verification also works, and register `monadTestnet` under
`etherscan.customChains`:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: {
optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 },
metadata: { bytecodeHash: "ipfs" },
} },
networks: { monadTestnet: {
url: process.env.MONAD_RPC_URL || "https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz",
accounts: [process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY.startsWith("0x")
? process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY : "0x" + process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY],
chainId: 10143,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
customChains: [{
network: "monadTestnet",
chainId: 10143,
urls: {
apiURL: "https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=10143",
browserURL: "https://testnet.monadscan.com",
},
}],
},
sourcify: {
enabled: true,
apiUrl: "https://sourcify-api-monad.blockvision.org",
browserUrl: "https://monadvision.com",
},
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network monadTestnet`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network monadTestnet <address>`
The verify command may print a warning but usually succeeds on both
Sourcify (MonadVision) and MonadScan — confirm at
`https://testnet.monadscan.com/address/<address>#code`.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://testnet.monadexplorer.com/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned.
2. On submit, pin the animation loop libraries artefact to Pinata, then call `log(cid)` on the contract via Privy sponsored tx. Render the CID, IPFS gateway preview, and Etherscan tx link.
3. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
