This section introduces the key concepts behind drand. For information about consuming randomness from a drand network, see theĀ Developer's Guide. For help running a drand network, see the entries under the āFor Operatorsā 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 drandās main goals. It gives an overview of the challenges drand aims to address.
- CryptographyĀ provides an overview of the cryptographic building blocks that drand uses to generate publicly-verifiable, unbiased, and unpredictable randomness in a distributed manner.
- Security ModelĀ describes the security considerations taken into account when designing and building drand.
- SpecificationĀ is a formal description of the drand protocols.
- Timelock EncryptionĀ gives all the information on our Timelock Encryption scheme, and links on where to find the tools to use it.
