Technologies Used

Chainlink (Verifiable Random Function)

At iRaz, we employ Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) as our trusted solution for generating random numbers to select raffle winners. Chainlink VRF is a decentralized oracle network that provides a secure and tamper-proof source of randomness on the blockchain.

When a raffle concludes and it's time to determine the winner, we utilize Chainlink VRF to generate a random number. This random number serves as a nonce, a unique identifier that ensures provable randomness and prevents any external influence or manipulation.

The generated random number nonce is securely recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and verifiability. By saving the nonce, we allow users to independently verify the authenticity of the randomness used to select the winner. This way, participants can have confidence that the outcome is truly random and cannot be affected by any external factors, such as previous random number generation attempts or external sources.

By leveraging Chainlink VRF, we maintain a robust and tamper-proof random number generator, ensuring fairness and integrity in our raffle selection process. The provable randomness provided by Chainlink VRF gives participants peace of mind, knowing that the winner is chosen based on a truly unpredictable and unbiased mechanism.
