full primer →The primitive.
Videographers mint each previsualization as a TEP-62 NFT item on TON testnet pointing at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp are provable from a single tonscan link.
Why this primitiveNFT minting onchain timestamps storyboards with IPFS CIDs, verifying original creative concepts.
Kernel
a TEP-62 NFT item minted from a collection on TON testnet whose content URI points at an IPFS CID, so authorship and timestamp live on-chain

CONCEPT
Mint storyboards as NFT tokens to secure creative vision and enable easy sharing with teams.
Discipline: Videography & Film (previsualization).
Onchain primitive: TON NFT provenance mint. Why this primitive: NFT minting onchain timestamps storyboards with IPFS CIDs, verifying original creative concepts.
5-CREDIT BUDGET (HARD LIMIT)
- ONE single-page app. No router, no Lovable Cloud, no database, no auth beyond TON Connect.
- ONE FunC contract, <=60 lines, deployed to TON testnet and readable on tonscan.
- TON Connect is always the wallet layer (Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, Tonhub).
- Pinata/IPFS only if the idea genuinely needs to store a file or metadata.
- At most ONE AI call per user action (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 + TanStack Start, single page (the index route).
- SSR-safe wallet mount is MANDATORY. Never import @tonconnect/ui-react at module
scope of a route file — it touches `window` and crashes SSR. Use
lazy(() => import('./ton-client-entry')) inside <ClientOnly> + <Suspense>, and
keep <TonConnectUIProvider> inside ton-client-entry.tsx only.
- Publish public/tonconnect-manifest.json ({ url, name, iconUrl }) and pass
manifestUrl={`${window.location.origin}/tonconnect-manifest.json`}.
- TESTNET IS FORCED: send with `network: CHAIN.TESTNET` and refuse to submit when
`wallet.account.chain !== CHAIN.TESTNET`, with a 'switch your wallet to testnet' hint.
- Amounts are nanotons as strings ("50000000" = 0.05 TON). A text-comment body is
beginCell().storeUint(0, 32).storeStringTail(text).endCell().toBoc().toString('base64').
- Read chain state from the public indexer https://testnet.toncenter.com/api/v3
(/transactions?account=…, /jetton/transfers?address=…). Never poll a wallet for history.
- Contracts live in /contracts, compiled with @ton-community/func-js and deployed with
@ton/ton + @ton/crypto from a node script — keep them out of the Vite bundle.
- Persistent amber "TON testnet only · no real value moves here" banner at the top of the shell.
NFT PROVENANCE (TEP-62 on TON testnet)
- Deploy one NFT collection contract from the deploy script; mint items from the app.
- Item content URI points at the IPFS CID pinned through Pinata, so the artwork and the
authorship record are both immutable.
- Mint = one TON Connect message to the collection carrying the mint op and the item index;
read the resulting item address back from toncenter and link it to tonscan.
- Keep the collection metadata tiny: name, description, image CID.
USER FLOW
1. Connect Tonkeeper (testnet) via TON Connect.
2. Videographers pin a previsualization artefact to IPFS, then tap 'Mint to claim authorship'.
3. The app shows the item address, the owner, and a tonscan link as proof.
4. Footer renders: "Built during the Creative AI & Quantum Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14"
TON SURVIVAL KIT (non-obvious rules — follow all of them)
1. BUFFER: browsers have no `Buffer`, but every TON lib returns one, so
`cell.toBoc().toString("base64")` throws "Buffer is not defined". Add one helper and
await it at the top of EVERY function touching @ton/core, @ton/crypto or @ton/ton —
including the TON Connect path, which is the one people forget:
export async function ensureBuffer() {
const g = globalThis as typeof globalThis & { Buffer?: unknown };
if (g.Buffer) return;
g.Buffer = (await import("buffer")).Buffer;
}
2. ADDRESS FLAVOURS: one key renders as four strings. `EQ…`/`UQ…` are the mainnet
flavours (bounceable / non-bounceable), `kQ…`/`0Q…` are the test-network flavours.
Never string-compare addresses across flavours — normalise first with
`Address.parse(a).equals(Address.parse(b))`. Render with an explicit flavour:
addr.toString({ testOnly: true, bounceable: false, urlSafe: true })
Send user transfers NON-bounceable (`bounce: false`); a bounceable send to an
uninitialised wallet returns the funds and the demo looks broken.
3. WALLET VERSION: the same mnemonic derives DIFFERENT addresses per wallet version.
A 24-word TON phrase -> `WalletContractV4` (workchain 0); a 12-word BIP39 phrase
(Gram, MyTonWallet) -> `WalletContractV5R1`. Derive both, query balances, and use
the funded one — do not guess. A TON wallet is itself a contract: it needs ~0.05 TON
and its first send carries `init` with `seqno: 0`. "Not deployed" is normal for a
fresh address, not an error.
4. EXPLORER: link everything to https://testnet.tonscan.org/address/<addr> and
https://testnet.tonscan.org/tx/<hash>. Derive the base URL from config, never hardcode.
5. WALLET REALITY CHECK: mobile Tonkeeper and Gram ship mainnet-only, so a test-network
demo opened on a phone dead-ends with "your wallet is on TON mainnet". Ship a fallback:
generate a throwaway wallet in the browser (`mnemonicNew()` from @ton/crypto, mnemonic
in localStorage, funded from the faucet) and sign locally with `WalletContractV4`.
Lock that browser-held key to the test network — never let it touch real funds.
6. TONCENTER: v3 rate-limits hard (HTTP 429). Wrap every read in a retry with backoff and
send `X-API-Key: TONCENTER_API_KEY` on anything user-facing.
7. PAYMENT VERIFICATION: verify SERVER-side only, never trust a client-reported hash.
Mint a one-time `chx-<hex>` memo, then match the recipient's recent transactions on
amount >= price, decoded comment === memo, `transaction_aborted === false`, and a
15-minute freshness window. Comments must be sent as a base64 BOC, not plain text:
beginCell().storeUint(0, 32).storeStringTail(memo).endCell().toBoc().toString("base64")
8. SSR: mount TON Connect client-side only — `lazy(() => import("./ton-client-entry"))`
inside `<ClientOnly>` + `<Suspense>`. Importing @tonconnect/ui-react at route module
scope crashes the server render. `tonconnect-manifest.json` must sit at a public https URL.
9. INSTALL: npm i @tonconnect/ui-react @ton/ton @ton/core @ton/crypto buffer
(add @ton-community/func-js only when you compile and deploy a FunC contract).
