What is randomness?
Randomness: the quality or state of being or seeming random (as in lacking or seeming to lack a definite plan, purpose, or pattern).[1]
While unpredictable outcomes are abundant in nature, the same can’t be said for randomness generated by computers. As computers are deterministic devices, it may not be possible to generate truly random numbers purely through a set of computer algorithms.[2]

Use cases
- Monopoly Millionaire Game - Using VRF for a verifiably random NFT reveal for all MMG minters.
- Outer Ring - Integrates VRF to help randomly distribute 350,000 NFTS from lootboxes.
- Trader Joe - Using VRF to support fair batch reveals on their NFT launchpad (Avalanche).
Release info
- VRF v2. Chainlink VRF v2 offers a new and improved version of the industry-standard on-chain RNG solution, making it easier to configure and scale randomness requests at a significantly reduced cost.
- VRF v1
