Draft notarization gets a tiny Solidity contract deployed to Ethereum Sepolia; writers see a 'verified onchain' badge with the live contract address and a one-tap Etherscan link.
Why this primitiveImmutable onchain records provide trusted proof of creation time and authenticity.

CONCEPT
Notarize poem drafts with blockchain timestamps to establish authorship and protect IP rights.
Discipline: Writing, Poetry & Narrative (draft notarization).
Onchain primitive: Sepolia smart contract. Why this primitive: Immutable onchain records provide trusted proof of creation time and authenticity.
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. User performs a draft notarization action; the app calls `log(payload)` on the contract via Privy sponsored tx and shows the Etherscan link as proof.
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):
- METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY Sepolia deployer key. Fund it: https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/sepolia
- SEPOLIA_RPC_URL Alchemy Sepolia HTTPS endpoint (https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<key>). Create a free app at https://dashboard.alchemy.com/ -> copy the HTTPS URL. Public RPCs throttle/fail under hackathon load — Alchemy is required.
- ETHERSCAN_API_KEY For `npx hardhat verify`. Get: https://etherscan.io/myapikey
- PRIVY_APP_ID Google sign-in + sponsored tx. Docs: https://docs.privy.io/llms-full.txt
- PINATA_JWT IPFS uploads (only if app pins media). Docs: https://docs.pinata.cloud/llms-full.txt
