Director Cut Collateral
Filmmakers use exclusive director cuts as collateral to borrow WETH against their tokenized stock holdings.

full primer →The primitive.
Every film distribution artefact is pinned to IPFS through Pinata; videographers get a permanent CID and a public gateway preview instead of a fragile cloud URL.
Why this primitivePinata IPFS securely hosts the heavy video master files referenced by the Robinhood Chain lending smart contracts.
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

CONCEPT
Filmmakers use exclusive director cuts as collateral to borrow WETH against their tokenized stock holdings.
Discipline: Videography & Film (film distribution).
Onchain primitive: IPFS via Pinata. Why this primitive: Pinata IPFS securely hosts the heavy video master files referenced by the Robinhood Chain lending smart contracts.
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 }`.
- 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 — 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. On submit, pin the film distribution artefact to Pinata, then call `log(cid)` on the contract via Privy sponsored tx. Render the CID, IPFS gateway preview, and Blockscout tx link.
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.
