PancakeSwap, the automated market (AMM) and yield farm platform constructed on Binance Sensible Chain (BSC), in the present day introduced its mainnet integration of the Chainlink Verifiable Random Perform (VRF).
Chainlink VRF offers cryptographically safe randomness for blockchain-based gaming purposes. It would present a provably honest supply of randomness used to pick winners in Pancake Swap’s Lottery V2 utility; together with a supporting cryptographic proof that verifies the RNG course of as tamper-proof.
Recap of PancakeSwap Lottery
- The PancakeSwap Lottery has two attracts day by day.
- Customers can take part by shopping for tickets, which every comprise 6 digits.

Given the worth at stake, it was crucial to deliver transparency and safety to the winner choice course of so no single celebration may unfairly affect the outcomes. Nonetheless, accessing a manipulation-resistant supply of randomness on-chain in a verifiable method isn’t as simple because it may appear. On-chain RNG options like blockhashes could be topic to miner manipulation; whereas off-chain RNG options are opaque and supply no proof of integrity. Overcoming these hurdles is why we chosen Chainlink VRF for the PancakeSwap Lottery V2.”
