Description

MoveMint is a full stack Web3 and AI powered platform built on the Mantle Network (Sepolia Testnet) that transforms dance and human movement into verifiable, monetizable onchain assets. The project addresses the lack of ownership, attribution, and monetization for choreographers whose work is often copied and redistributed without credit or compensation.

The application is developed using Next.js 16 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, delivering a modern, high performance, creator first interface. Users connect through MetaMask with automatic Mantle network detection. The entire experience runs in the browser, lowering barriers to entry and removing the need for specialized hardware.

At the core of MoveMint is an AI motion capture pipeline powered by TensorFlow.js pose estimation models. The system detects 17+ skeletal keypoints per frame from webcam input and converts video into structured, time based pose vectors that represent choreography. Creators can preview their performances using real time skeleton overlays or side by side playback modes, providing clear proof of originality and an engaging demo experience.

Dance metadata including title, dance style, choreographer details, duration, and AI generated movement references is packaged into a standardized schema and stored on IPFS for decentralized, tamper resistant access. Backend logic is handled through Next.js API routes, which coordinate metadata creation, validation, IPFS pinning, and mint preparation.

The smart contract layer is written in Solidity ^0.8.20 and deployed on Mantle. It implements ERC721, ERC721Enumerable, and ERC721URIStorage for NFT management, along with ERC2981 for native royalty support. This enables creators to mint their own dance NFTs, retain full ownership, and earn ongoing royalties from secondary sales. All blockchain interactions are performed directly using ethers.js, ensuring non custodial and trust minimized execution.

By leveraging Mantle’s low cost and high throughput infrastructure, MoveMint makes frequent minting and experimentation economically viable. Beyond NFTs, the platform establishes choreography as a new digital asset class with applications in fitness, gaming, animation, and future AI training datasets. The live application is available at https://move-mint-mantle.vercel.app/, showcasing an end to end working product and demonstrating real world execution.

Progress During Hackathon

During the hackathon, we took MoveMint from concept to a fully working end-to-end product. We designed the core architecture, built the frontend application, implemented AI-based motion capture, and deployed live smart contracts, focusing on execution rather than mockups. On the product side, we shipped a browser-native recording flow that allows users to connect a wallet, record a dance using a webcam, preview AI-generated skeleton visualizations, and mint the performance onchain. We implemented real-time pose estimation using TensorFlow.js, extracting skeletal keypoints and converting movement into structured choreography data. This validated our core thesis that movement can be captured, represented, and tokenized directly in the browser without specialized hardware. On the blockchain side, we wrote and deployed a royalty-enabled NFT smart contract on Mantle Sepolia, implementing ERC721 with enumeration and ERC2981 royalties. We integrated direct wallet-to-contract interactions using ethers.js and completed multiple successful test mints, proving ownership, metadata resolution, and royalty configuration. Metadata is generated dynamically and stored on IPFS through backend API routes, ensuring decentralized and persistent access. We also focused on infrastructure and reliability. The application was deployed live on Vercel, smart contracts were verified on the Mantle explorer, and the full minting pipeline was tested repeatedly to ensure a smooth demo experience. By the end of the hackathon, MoveMint was live with a public URL, deployed contracts, and a working AI + Web3 pipeline, demonstrating real technical depth, rapid execution, and readiness for post-hackathon scaling.

Fundraising Status

MoveMint is currently in a pre-seed, pre-revenue stage and has not raised any external funding to date. The project has been fully bootstrapped by the team, from ideation through development and live deployment, demonstrating strong capital efficiency and execution capability. We are now beginning fundraising to support the transition from testnet to mainnet, expand creator onboarding, invest in security audits, and accelerate partnerships and growth.
