Orand: Trustless Random Number Generation for Saakuru Blockchain

Saakuru partnered with Orochi Network to bring Orand, a cutting-edge Verifiable Random Function (VRF) service, to games developed on the Saakuru blockchain. Orand delivers trustless and tamper-proof random number generation, empowering game developers to implement secure and verifiable randomness in their projects.

Key Features

1. Security and Verification

   • Tamper-Proof Randomness: Generates unmanipulable random numbers using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECVRF).

   • Verifiable Proofs: Provides cryptographic proofs that ensure the integrity of the output.

   • Multi-Party Computation (MPC): Distributes the randomness generation process across multiple nodes, enhancing trust and decentralization.

2. Technical Capabilities

   • High Throughput: Generates randomness in just 15ms, ensuring smooth integration with real-time applications.

   • Batch Processing: Supports up to 100 randomness entries per epoch, enabling scalability for complex games.

   • Cross-Chain Compatibility: Works seamlessly across both EVM and non-EVM compatible blockchains.

3. Flexible Implementation Options

   • Self-Submission: Games directly interact with the Orand contract for randomness requests.

   • Delegated Submission: Orand handles the submission process on behalf of the game, reducing developer overhead.

   • Cost Optimization: Subscription plans tailored for various scales, including a free tier with 20,000 monthly randomness generations.

4. Robust Architecture

   • The distributed network of nodes ensures fault-tolerant, secure randomness generation.

   • Elliptic Curve Cryptography for secure VRF functionality.

   • Fault-proof mechanisms to prevent manipulation or single-point failures.

Why Orand Matters for Web3 Games

1. Enhancing Fairness and Transparency

   • Random number generation is critical for many game mechanics, such as loot drops, matchmaking, and procedural generation. Orand ensures outcomes are provably fair, enhancing player trust in the game.

2. Preventing Exploitation

   • Traditional RNG systems can be manipulated, leading to unfair advantages. Orand's tamper-proof design eliminates this risk, protecting the integrity of the game and its economy.

3. Cross-Chain Randomness

   • Games operating across multiple blockchains can rely on Orand to deliver consistent and verifiable randomness, simplifying development and enhancing interoperability.

4. Cost-Effective Scalability

   • The batch processing feature enables high throughput, making Orand suitable for games with large user bases or frequent randomness needs without escalating costs.

Use Cases for Orand in Gaming

1. Loot Drops

   • Generate fair and verifiable loot drop chances for players, ensuring randomness cannot be manipulated by either the game developers or external parties.

2. Procedural Generation

   • Create randomized maps, levels, or environments with tamper-proof randomness, ensuring each player has a unique and fair experience.

3. Matchmaking

   • Randomly assign players to teams or matchmaking pools for competitive games, ensuring balance and transparency.

4. In-Game Gambling

   • Power games of chance, such as lotteries or dice rolls, with provable randomness, increasing trust and regulatory compliance.

5. Tournament Rewards

   • Randomly distribute rewards to participants or winners in tournaments, ensuring fair allocation without bias.

6. Dynamic In-Game Events

   • Trigger random events or encounters within the game world, enhancing engagement and unpredictability.

7. Cross-Chain Games

   • For games operating on multiple blockchains, Orand ensures consistent and verifiable randomness across all ecosystems.

Orand enabled through Saakuru’s partnership with Orochi Network, brings the power of secure, tamper-proof random number generation to Web3 games. By ensuring fairness, enhancing transparency, and simplifying randomness integration, Orand becomes an essential tool for game developers to build trust and excitement in their blockchain games.
