The League of Entropy (LoE) is a voluntary consortium of organizations working together to implement an unpredictable, bias-resistant, fully decentralized, and publicly-verifiable threshold cryptosystem designed to deliver Randomness as a Service, (RaaS) among other use cases. The open-source software that powers the League of Entropy's network is called drand, (short for decentralized randomness). Active members of the League currently include Automata Network, C4DT, ChainSafe, cLabs, Cloudflare, DIA Data, Emerald Onion, école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Ethereum Foundation, IPFS Force, KEN Labs, Kudelski Security, Protocol Labs, PTisp, Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) Foundation, Randamu, StorSwift, Tierion, UCL, and the University of Chile. The League was inaugurated in 2019 with the original founding members including Cloudflare, Protocol Labs researcher Nicolas Gailly, University of Chile, école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and Kudelski Security. The League was created to provide a decentralized alternative to centralized randomness beacons where random number generation may be compromised or manipulated, as occurred in the Hot Lotto fraud scandal. It is also intended to avoid the implicit trust assumptions that occur when a single organization or entity is responsible for producing randomness, as in the case of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's public randomness beacon. Verifiable randomness has numerous applications in blockchain computing, gaming, gambling, lotteries, elections, and privacy-preserving data management systems.

?? Behind the Scenes: How Scroll Enabled Open Source VRF to be Deployable on All EVMs A fully open-source Verifiable Random Function (VRF) is now deployable on ALL EVM chains. This tool was made possible through Scroll's backing of the Anyrand team. Take a look of how it all came together ?? 1?? The VRF Challenge VRF = unmanipulatable, secure and provable randomness. Sounds simple, right? Not quite. EVM chains were missing out on a tool like drand, due to the BLS12-381 curve incompatibility. For Scroll, the need for a solution was even greater. As a rollup, Scroll's deterministic nature meant traditional randomness sources weren't viable. drand offered a solution, independent of block hashes. Scroll saw this opportunity and stepped in. 2?? Scroll's Vision At Scroll, we believe in building tools that benefit the entire ecosystem. When we spotted the VRF gap, we knew it needed fixing. Our approach? Find the right team and give them the support they need to solve this puzzle. Meet Anyrand and Randamu ?? 3?? The Technical Breakthrough The Anyrand and Randamu teams tackled the problem head-on: ? Implemented a new BLS scheme on the BN254 curve ? Deployed a fresh drand network ? Made signature verification a breeze on EVM precompiles Result? #OSS VRF deployable on ALL EVM chains! 4?? From Idea to Reality Scroll's support was the catalyst that turned this idea into reality. We provided the backing needed for the teams to focus on what they do best - solving complex crypto puzzles. 5?? What This Means For You Whether you're building games, lotteries, or any dapp needing fair randomness, this open-source VRF is your new best friend. ? Free to use (just pay gas) ? Easy to implement ? Permissionless, decentralised & unmanipulatable Dive in at https://anyrand.com/ 6?? Join the Dice Party! ?? The community is loving the commemorative Anyrand Dice NFT -?Over 17,500 dice have been minted already! ?? Less than 24h to grab your limited edition Scroll dice ??? ?? Mint now at dice.anyrand.com
Congrats to the Scroll and Anyrand teams for having such a successful Dice NFT contract launch with over 12.5k NFTs minted, 10.5k unique holders, and $145,000 USD spent (55ETH) in the first 48 hours! This is an amazing launch! Join in the dice NFT minting fun at https://dice.anyrand.com! Way to go Serg L., Marco Kaul, Nico Gallardo ??, Kevin Tjiam, and Randamu!
The League is delighted to support Anyrand and Scroll in their efforts to make publicly-verifiable randomness freely available to everyone, everywhere. Lighting up all #EVM chains with drand is just the start! Congratulations! #web3 #randomness #verifiability #layer2 #rollup #threshold #networking
