A decentralized entropy source is a mechanism that generates random numbers in a way that is verifiable, unpredictable, and resistant to manipulation by any single entity. These sources are vital for applications requiring true randomness, such as fair lotteries, secure committee selections, or non-fungible token minting. They operate across distributed network participants.
Context
The reliability of decentralized entropy sources is a persistent challenge and area of development in blockchain technology, frequently discussed in the context of security and fairness for various decentralized applications. Ongoing research aims to improve the robustness and verifiability of these randomness generation methods.
Kleroterion, a democratic randomness beacon, achieves linear computation and leaderless input sharing, decoupling beacon performance from network size.
