2.0 Intro to drand

This section introduces the key concepts behind drand. For information about consuming randomness from a drand network, see the **Developer's Guide. F**or help running a drand network, see the entries under the “For Operators” section. To run node(s) or relay(s) for the League of Entropy, please apply to the League to be considered for membership.

  • Read the What is "drand"? section to learn more about drand’s main goals. It gives an overview of the challenges drand aims to address.
  • Cryptography provides an overview of the cryptographic building blocks that drand uses to generate publicly-verifiable, unbiased, and unpredictable randomness in a distributed manner.
  • Security Model describes the security considerations taken into account when designing and building drand.
  • Specification is a formal description of the drand protocols.
  • Timelock Encryption gives all the information on our Timelock Encryption scheme, and links on where to find the tools to use it.
