Definition ∞ Unpredictable randomness describes a sequence of numbers or events that cannot be predicted or influenced by any external factors. Each outcome is statistically independent of previous outcomes. This property is essential for cryptographic security and fair processes.
Context ∞ Truly unpredictable randomness is critical in various aspects of blockchain technology, including cryptographic security, consensus mechanisms, and decentralized applications. It ensures fairness in processes like validator selection and prevents manipulation in decentralized gaming or lottery protocols. Its integrity is paramount for the trust and security of digital asset systems.
