Verifiable Delay Functions Secure Decentralized Randomness and Consensus Integrity
The Verifiable Delay Function is a cryptographic time-lock, enforcing a mandatory sequential computation to generate unbiasable randomness, thereby securing consensus leader election.
Homomorphic Encryption and VRF Achieve Scalable Unpredictable On-Chain Randomness
Homomorphic encryption combined with VRFs constructs a linear-scaling distributed randomness beacon, eliminating pre-computation bias in consensus leader selection.
Democratic Randomness Protocol Eliminates Leader Bottlenecks for Scalability
Kleroterion, a democratic random beacon using Pinakion PVSS, achieves linear complexity by distributing input sharing, enabling scalable, bias-resistant randomness.
Sequential Proof-of-Work Enables Competitive Decentralized Randomness Beacons
RandChain introduces Sequential Proof-of-Work to mandate non-parallelizable mining, securing public randomness and democratizing validator election.
Layered Commit-Reveal Protocol Secures Decentralized Randomness Beacons
Commit-Reveal Squared uses randomized reveal order and a hybrid architecture to cryptographically secure decentralized randomness, eliminating last-revealer bias.
