enterprise node operators

The web3 industry standard for randomness.

High-grade random number generators need to be unpredictable, publicly verifiable, bias-resistant, decentralized, and always available.

Unpredictable

Future randomness values cannot be predicted in advance, providing strong security guarantees.

Unbiasable

The system guarantees that no party can influence or manipulate the random values.

Publicly verifiable

Anyone can independently verify the authenticity and integrity of the random values produced by drand.

Decentralized

Generated by a network of independent participants working together to produce randomness, ensuring no single point of control.
