In this blog post, we’ll dive into creating a simple Notion widget that displays the latest public randomness from drand (for both the default and quicknet beacons from the League of Entropy network).
drand is software for running a threshold network that generates publicly verifiable random numbers.
Boy, that's a mouthful.
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.
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!
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.
The drand team has been hard at work the last couple of months to develop and integrate new and extremely valuable features into the drand codebase! We have worked together with Zondax, a research and software development company, and we are extremely excited to announce the completion of a very important project for the future of drand. The project focused on two important features that have the potential to unlock new capabilities for the drand randomness service, enable new application scenarios and make drand able to support many more applications and platforms.
