Fast SNARK-based Non-Interactive Distributed Verifiable Random Function with Ethereum Compatibility

ePrint Report: Fast SNARK-based Non-Interactive Distributed Verifiable Random Function with Ethereum Compatibility

Jia Liu, Mark Manulis

Distributed randomness beacons (DRBs) are fundamental for various decentralised applications, such as consensus protocols, decentralised gaming and lotteries, and collective governance protocols. These applications are heavily used on modern blockchain platforms.
This paper presents the so far most efficient direct construction and implementation of a non-interactive distributed verifiable random function (NI-DVRF) that is fully compatible with Ethereum. Our NI-DVRF scheme adopts pairings and combines …
