full primer →The primitive.
Game designers sign in with Google through Privy — no seed phrase, no MetaMask popup — and their user testing actions are sent as sponsored transactions so they never see gas.
Why this primitivePrivy wallet and sponsored tx enable friction-free beta tester onboarding.
Kernel
Privy embedded wallet bootstrapped with PRIVY_APP_ID — Google sign-in plus sponsored Optimism Sepolia transactions so users never see gas
Drives the UI as
a one-click 'Sign in with Google' that drops the user straight into the app with an onchain identity
Required keys.
OPTIMISM_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL
Alchemy Optimism Sepolia HTTPS endpoint (or https://sepolia.optimism.io).

CONCEPT
Grant beta testing access through gasless wallet authentication and sponsored invites.
Discipline: Game Design & Interactive Media (user testing).
Onchain primitive: Privy social + sponsored tx. Why this primitive: Privy wallet and sponsored tx enable friction-free beta tester onboarding.
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 Sepolia, verified on Etherscan.
- 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:{createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets'},
defaultChain:{ id: 11155111, name:'Sepolia' } }}>
- All txs via Privy `useSendTransaction` with `{ sponsor: true }` (zero-gas for the user).
- 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 MUST use the Etherscan v2 single-key shape (NOT the per-network map):
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: { optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 } } },
networks: { sepolia: {
url: process.env.SEPOLIA_RPC_URL, // Alchemy HTTPS endpoint, REQUIRED
accounts: [process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY.startsWith("0x")
? process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY : "0x" + process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY],
chainId: 11155111,
} },
etherscan: { apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY }, // single string, NOT { sepolia: ... }
sourcify: { enabled: false }, // silences the v2.x prompt
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network sepolia`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network sepolia <address>`
On success Etherscan returns "Successfully verified contract … on the block explorer"
and the source becomes readable at
`https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Alchemy URL too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: sepolia, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL) })`.
Expose SEPOLIA_RPC_URL to the client by also setting VITE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned.
2. Every user testing action the user performs is sent as a sponsored Sepolia tx (`log(payload)`) and displayed with an Etherscan link. No wallet popups.
3. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
REQUIRED SECRETS (Lovable -> Project Settings -> Secrets):
