Virtual Instrument Tokens
Mint exclusive sample pack NFTs with creator ownership and usage proofs.

Section · Onchain
full primer →The primitive.
Musicians mint each instrument sample packs as an ERC-721 token on Avalanche Fuji pointing at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp are provable from a single Snowtrace link.
Why this primitiveNFTs provide authenticated proof of creation and distribution for sample packs.
Kernel
an ERC-721 contract on Avalanche Fuji that mints a creator-owned token pointing at an IPFS CID, verified on Snowtrace
Drives the UI as
a 'mint to claim authorship' button that returns the tokenId, owner address, and Snowtrace link

CONCEPT
Mint exclusive sample pack NFTs with creator ownership and usage proofs.
Discipline: Music & Sound Design (instrument sample packs).
Onchain primitive: NFT provenance mint. Why this primitive: NFTs provide authenticated proof of creation and distribution for sample packs.
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 Avalanche Fuji (chainId 43113), verified on Snowtrace.
- 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:
// IMPORTANT: pass the real viem `avalancheFuji` Chain object — a { id, name } stub
// silently breaks Privy's chain transport (sponsored tx + smart-wallet client init).
import { avalancheFuji } from 'viem/chains';
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google'], embeddedWallets:{ethereum:{createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets'}},
defaultChain: avalancheFuji, supportedChains: [avalancheFuji] }}>
- All txs via Privy `useSendTransaction` with `{ sponsor: true }` (zero-gas for the user).
- 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-ethers` AND `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify` (>=2.x).
DO NOT install `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox` — it drags Hardhat 3 peers.
- hardhat.config.cjs — Avalanche Fuji + 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: { avalancheFuji: {
url: process.env.AVALANCHE_FUJI_RPC_URL || "https://api.avax-test.network/ext/bc/C/rpc",
accounts: pk ? [pk.startsWith("0x") ? pk : "0x" + pk] : [],
chainId: 43113,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, // single Etherscan v2 key covers Snowtrace
customChains: [{
network: "avalancheFuji", chainId: 43113,
urls: {
apiURL: "https://api.etherscan.io/v2/api?chainid=43113",
browserURL: "https://testnet.snowtrace.io",
},
}],
},
sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network avalancheFuji`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network avalancheFuji <address>`
On success it prints "Successfully verified contract … on the block explorer"
and the source becomes readable at
`https://testnet.snowtrace.io/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Avalanche Fuji RPC too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: avalancheFuji, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_AVALANCHE_FUJI_RPC_URL) })`
(import `avalancheFuji` from `viem/chains`).
Expose the RPC to the client by also setting VITE_AVALANCHE_FUJI_RPC_URL to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://testnet.snowtrace.io/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned on Avalanche Fuji.
2. After the user creates a instrument sample packs artefact, pin the file to IPFS via Pinata, then call `mint(cid)` on the deployed contract through Privy's sponsored transaction. Show tokenId, IPFS preview (`https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/<cid>`), and Snowtrace mint-tx link.
3. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
