The drand team has been busy during the past year working on delivering an exciting new feature: Timelock Encryption. Timelock encryption enables you to encrypt a message that cannot be decrypted by anyone until a specified time in the future.
To mark the launch of user-programmable smart contracts on the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM), the drand team is excited to release a three-part blog series on using randomness on the FVM! In this first part, we dive into the prevrandao EVM opcode (the FVM fully supports EVM bytecode!), a sample Solidity contract using it, a UI to interact with it, and some other necessary plumbing to make it all work.
We are proud to announce that Automata Network, a web3 middleware protocol focused on protecting fairness & privacy, is joining forces with the League of Entropy (LoE)! Automata is becoming the 17th member to join the LoE and the first partner joining from Singapore - a significant milestone for the LoE.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of public randomness and provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to consume randomness from drand and use it in your applications. Get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of randomness!
We are excited to announce that IPFSForce has joined the League of Entropy!
drand is the next generation distributed randomness service. It requires several independent organizations to run a node that contributes a part of the randomness to the network. So far, all of the nodes that participate in the League of Entropy’s drand network have been placed on Earth. But this has just changed! Temporarily for now, but hopefully more permanently in the near future. Read on to find out all the details.
Monitoring distributed systems is a challenge. While there are established patterns and solutions for monitoring the most common types of applications, there is usually no silver bullet. In this blog post, we outline the challenges that we faced when implementing monitoring for one such system, drand.
Drand was recently presented at the North Sec conference! Here is a brief summary of the event and the drand talk, as well as the answers to a few of the interesting questions we received.
"StorSwift becomes the newest member of the League of Entropy. We've asked them why they're motivated by drand and decided to contribute - check what they said!"
