Darkroom Token Lab
Film photographers tokenize development recipes and darkroom techniques as tradeable process secrets.
The primitive.
Photographers sign in with Google through Privy — no seed phrase, no MetaMask popup — and their analog film photography actions are sent as sponsored transactions on Robinhood Chain so they never see gas.
Why this primitiveSponsored transactions allow analog hobbyists to mint process tokens without understanding gas mechanics or crypto.

CONCEPT
Film photographers tokenize development recipes and darkroom techniques as tradeable process secrets.
Discipline: Photography (analog film photography).
Onchain primitive: Privy social + sponsored tx. Why this primitive: Sponsored transactions allow analog hobbyists to mint process tokens without understanding gas mechanics or crypto.
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 Robinhood Chain Testnet, verified on Blockscout.
- 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. Define the Robinhood Chain Testnet
as a custom viem chain (viem/chains does not ship it yet):
import { defineChain } from 'viem';
export const robinhoodTestnet = defineChain({
id: 46630,
name: 'Robinhood Chain Testnet',
nativeCurrency: { name: 'Ether', symbol: 'ETH', decimals: 18 },
rpcUrls: { default: { http: [import.meta.env.VITE_ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL || 'https://rpc.testnet.chain.robinhood.com'] } },
blockExplorers: { default: { name: 'Blockscout', url: 'https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com' } },
testnet: true,
});
<PrivyProvider appId={import.meta.env.VITE_PRIVY_APP_ID}
config={{ loginMethods:['google'],
embeddedWallets:{ ethereum: { createOnLogin:'users-without-wallets' } },
defaultChain: robinhoodTestnet,
supportedChains: [robinhoodTestnet] }}>
- All txs via Privy `useSendTransaction` with `{ sponsor: true }` (zero-gas for the user)
and `{ chainId: 46630 }`.
- Hardhat in /contracts (kept outside the Vite bundle). Install
`@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox` AND `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify@latest`
(>=3.x — required for Blockscout via customChains).
- hardhat.config.cjs — Blockscout has no API key, so pass a placeholder string:
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify");
module.exports = {
solidity: { version: "0.8.24", settings: { optimizer: { enabled: true, runs: 200 } } },
networks: { robinhoodTestnet: {
url: process.env.ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL || "https://rpc.testnet.chain.robinhood.com",
accounts: [process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY.startsWith("0x")
? process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY : "0x" + process.env.METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY],
chainId: 46630,
} },
etherscan: {
apiKey: { robinhoodTestnet: "blockscout-no-key-required" },
customChains: [{
network: "robinhoodTestnet",
chainId: 46630,
urls: { apiURL: "https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com/api", browserURL: "https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com" },
}],
},
sourcify: { enabled: false },
};
- Deploy: `npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.cjs --network robinhoodTestnet`.
- Verify (run RIGHT AFTER deploy, no constructor args for these contracts):
`npx hardhat verify --network robinhoodTestnet <address>`
On success Blockscout marks the contract as verified and the source becomes readable at
`https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com/address/<address>#code`.
- Frontend reads: create a viem public client with the Alchemy URL too —
`createPublicClient({ chain: robinhoodTestnet, transport: http(import.meta.env.VITE_ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL) })`.
Expose ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL to the client by also setting VITE_ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL
to the same value.
- Write the deployed address to `src/data/contract.json` so the UI links to
`https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com/address/<address>`.

USER FLOW
1. Land on page -> 'Sign in with Google' (Privy) -> embedded wallet auto-provisioned on Robinhood Chain Testnet.
2. Every analog film photography action the user performs is sent as a sponsored Robinhood Chain tx (`log(payload)`) and displayed with a Blockscout 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):
- METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY Deployer key. Fund it with testnet ETH from https://faucet.testnet.chain.robinhood.com
- ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL Alchemy Robinhood Chain Testnet HTTPS endpoint
(https://robinhood-testnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/<ALCHEMY_KEY>). Create a free app at
https://dashboard.alchemy.com/ (search 'Robinhood Chain' when
adding a network) -> copy the HTTPS URL. Public RPC
(https://rpc.testnet.chain.robinhood.com) works as a fallback but throttles under load.
- PRIVY_APP_ID Google sign-in + sponsored tx. Docs: https://docs.privy.io/llms-full.txt
In the Privy dashboard, add a Custom EVM chain: id=46630,
name='Robinhood Chain Testnet', rpc=$ROBINHOOD_TESTNET_RPC_URL,
explorer=https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com.
- PINATA_JWT IPFS uploads (only if the app pins media). Docs: https://docs.pinata.cloud/llms-full.txt
NOTE: NO ETHERSCAN_API_KEY. Robinhood Chain uses Blockscout, which verifies contracts without an API key.
