Chainlink VRF generates both a random number and cryptographic proof, then delivers both on-chain where the cryptographic proof is verified prior to the acceptance of the random number by the consuming application.--Reggie (talk) 04:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[1]
REVIEW Chainlink VRF works by combining block data that is still unknown when the request is made with the oracle node’s pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. The smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, and the cryptographic proof can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof. This helps provide users with automated and publicly verifiable proof directly on-chain that each application using Chainlink VRF for randomness is provably fair and cannot be tampered with or predicted by the oracle, outside entities, or development teams.
