Random Number Generation (RNG) on ICP

Random Number Generation (RNG) in winner Selection Process

How Amplify Uses Random Number Generation (RNG) on ICP

Consensus-Driven Randomness: ICP uses its consensus mechanism to produce random numbers that are unpredictable and verifiably fair. The randomness is derived from a process involving many nodes, making it tamper-resistant and decentralized, thus creating a fair raffle system in picking campaign winners. Secure and Fair: The combination of ICP's on-chain randomness and the rand library ensures that the process for selecting winners is both secure and fair. Immutable Results: Since the randomness is derived on-chain, the results are recorded immutably on the blockchain, preventing tampering or disputes. Transparency: All randomness generation is publicly verifiable, which increases trust in the system. Decentralization: Unlike centralized RNG solutions, ICP's approach ensures that no single entity can influence the outcomes.
