A Premiere Cultural Synthesis

Creative
AI & Quantum
Hackathon

A 4-hour vibe-coding sprint where dancers, musicians, theatre-makers and visual artists build with AI and quantum tools on Lovable — entirely from their mobile phone.

Where the arts meet the future stack.

StreetKode is bridging the gap between India's creative industries and frontier technology — AI, quantum and Web3 — through hands-on, artist-first hackathons.

Vibe coding with Lovable

Lovable is the exclusive build platform. Describe what you want, watch it ship — no install, no setup.

Quantum on a Linux sandbox

Quantinuum's Selene simulator and Guppy language run inside Lovable's Linux sandbox. Real quantum circuits, zero hardware.

Agentic AI for artists

Wire up agents that compose, choreograph, paint or stage — your creative voice, multiplied.

Blockchain-ready

Deploy smart contracts (Solidity / Hardhat / Foundry) from the same Lovable Linux sandbox. NFT drops, stablecoin tip jars, on-chain ticketing — all from your phone.

New interaction models

From humans talking to humans → to agents talking to agents.

The creative industry is moving through four modes at once. Here's the map — no jargon.

H2HHuman to Human

People talking to people. Email, DMs, in-person meetings.

Example

A choreographer briefs a dancer.

Unlocks

Trust, craft — the baseline everything else builds on.

H2AHuman to Agent

You instruct an AI agent. Prompting, vibe coding, creative tools.

Example

A musician asks an agent to draft lyrics or generate a stem.

Unlocks

Solo artists moving at studio speed.

A2HAgent to Human

An agent reaches out to you. Notifications, recommendations, proactive nudges.

Example

An agent DMs a fan when the artist drops a track that matches their taste.

Unlocks

Personal, always-on audience engagement.

A2AAgent to Agent

Agents negotiating with other agents. Discovery, checkout, licensing, payment — no humans in the loop.

Example

A venue's booking agent negotiates a fee with an artist's manager agent, signs the contract, and pays in stablecoin.

Unlocks

New rails for the creative economy — royalties, licensing, ticketing at machine speed.

The Agentic AI megaprompt gives you a working two-agent negotiation — discovery, offer, counter, payment — as a starting point.

The protocols that make A2A real

A2A · AP2 · UCP — Google's stack for agentic commerce.

Three open specs from Google. Together they let one agent discover another, agree on a cart, and pay — with a signed trail every party can verify.

A2AAgent2Agent Protocol · Google

Open protocol for agents built on different frameworks and vendors to discover each other, exchange typed messages and run long-lived tasks together.

Enables

One agent can task another — booking, negotiation, delivery — across company boundaries.

AP2Agents to Payments Protocol · Google

Extension of A2A that lets an agent pay on a user's behalf using signed Intent → Cart → Payment mandates as a verifiable audit trail.

Enables

Machine-speed checkout that a human, merchant and card network can all trust after the fact.

UCPUniversal Checkout Protocol · Google

Merchant-facing spec that exposes product, cart and checkout operations agents can call to complete a purchase on any compliant storefront.

Enables

The merchant side of the same loop — any store speaking UCP is instantly agent-checkoutable.

Try it
All three protocols, wired together

The Agentic AI megaprompt ships A2A, AP2 and UCP with x402 settlement as a working two-agent negotiation. Clone it and ship your own.

Agent payment rails

Once agents negotiate, someone has to pay.

Three emerging rails let agents settle deals with no human clicking "confirm". You'll see all three across the Blockchain track starters.

x402HTTP 402 payment protocol

A web standard for machine-to-machine payments over plain HTTP.

How it works

Server returns 402 with a price. Agent signs a stablecoin authorization. Server settles on-chain and returns the content.

Who's behind it

Open standard adopted by Coinbase — running across Base, Optimism, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche and Polygon.

Spec: x402.org ↗Try on Base Sepolia →
MPPMerchant Payments Protocol

Tempo's rail for agents to check out at real merchants.

How it works

Agent discovers a merchant, gets a quote, pays in stablecoin on Tempo Moderato — the merchant sees a normal settled order.

Who's behind it

Tempo (Stripe's payments-focused L1) with Paradigm.

Spec: mpp.dev ↗Try on Tempo Moderato →
AP4MAgent Pay for Machines

Mastercard's card-network rail for autonomous agents.

How it works

Agent gets a scoped virtual credential, spends within policy limits, and settles through the Mastercard network.

Who's behind it

Mastercard. Bridges agentic commerce to existing card rails and every merchant that already accepts Mastercard.

Read Mastercard's brief ↗
Why three?
Not competitors — different lanes.

On-chain rails (x402, MPP) are ideal for crypto-native flows and micro-payments between agents. Card rails (AP4M) plug agents into every merchant that already takes Mastercard. Build on any of them — it all counts for the Blockchain track.

Web2 → Web3, under the hood

No wallet. No seed phrase. No gas.

Every Blockchain starter signs users in with Google or email, spins up a wallet invisibly, and pays their gas. Your audience never sees the crypto plumbing.

Sign-in

Google or email. That's it.

Privy creates an embedded wallet the moment someone signs in — no extension, no seed phrase, no app to install. The user just sees "Continue with Google".

  • Works on mobile browsers
  • Same account across chains
  • Recoverable via email
Gas

The app pays, not the user.

Transactions are sponsored so the user never buys ETH or SOL to try your app. Two patterns depending on chain:

Privy native paymaster

Turned on in Privy's dashboard. Works on Sepolia, Base, Solana and others. Approval sheet shows US$0.00.

Privy × ZeroDev combo

For chains without native sponsorship: Privy handles the identity, ZeroDev's smart wallet + paymaster covers the gas. Same walletless feel.

Why it matters
The first 30 seconds decide everything.

Vibe-coded creative apps live or die on the first 30 seconds. Walletless + sponsored means your artist audience can open the link and use the thing — no on-ramp, no funding step, no jargon.

Emerging field

Creative Quantum.

In healthcare, finance and logistics, quantum noise is a defect to eliminate. In art, imperfection is the point.

The thesis

Why creative, why now.

Every other industry treats quantum error as failure — millions spent on error-correction to make results deterministic. The creative industry is the opposite: unpredictability, superposition, interference and collapse are aesthetic material. A glitch in a healthcare model kills people. A glitch in a track becomes the hook.

"Errors aren't tolerated in medicine. In art, they're the signature."

World-first

Moth Quantum.

Moth Quantum is the world's first creative-quantum company — building instruments, sound and visual tools that run on real quantum hardware and treat quantum behaviour as an artistic medium, not a bug to fix.

The stack

Why Guppy & Selene.

The Quantum track's starter runs on Quantinuum's new stack — the same one their scientists use. Two pieces you should know.

Quantinuum software stack: Solutions, Developer Suite (Guppy, Selene, TKET), Cloud Platform (Nexus), Control System, and Quantinuum QPU
Source: Quantinuum — Guppy and Selene sit in the Developer Suite, one layer above the real QPU.
Language

Guppy

A Python-embedded language for writing real quantum programs — loops, conditionals, mid-circuit measurement, functions. If you can write Python, you can write Guppy. No new syntax to learn.

Guppy Playground is a free in-browser sandbox — write and run Guppy programs with nothing to install.

Emulator

Selene

The high-performance emulator that runs Guppy programs — same behaviour as Quantinuum's real hardware, but free to iterate on. Perfect for the 4-hour hackathon: no hardware queue, no cost, and your circuit ports 1:1 to the real machine later.

Know the stack

Simulator vs emulator vs hardware.

Three ways to run a quantum program — pick the one that matches where you are.

Math model

Simulator

Runs the ideal quantum math on a classical computer. Fast for tiny circuits, no noise, no hardware constraints. Good for teaching, not for predicting what a real machine will do.

Hardware-faithful · What we use

Emulator (Selene)

Also runs on classical hardware, but reproduces the target QPU's gate set, connectivity, timing and noise. Your circuit behaves the same way it will on the real machine — so it ports 1:1 later.

Real qubits · Expensive

Hardware (QPU)

Physical trapped-ion or superconducting device. Real superposition and entanglement, real noise, and a real queue with real per-shot cost. You graduate to it once your circuit is proven on the emulator.

Why Selene, not a QPU

Real quantum hardware time is expensive and queued — the hackathon runs entirely on Selene, Quantinuum's hardware-faithful emulator. Same behaviour as the QPU, no cost, no queue, and your winning circuit ports 1:1 to the real machine after the event.
