Hi all,  
This VIP aims to see a VRF (Verifiable Random Function) implementation both at protocol or built-in level. VRF would open the doors for a whole new set of applications and use cases on vechain, also unlocking new reward mechanism for VeBetterDAO apps

Some of the use cases to be unlocked with a VRF:

- Gaming Applications
  - Lotteries: Fair and transparent random selection of winners.
  - Arcade Games: Securely powering random spins, rolls, or draws.

- NFT Ecosystem
  - Randomized trait assignment during minting.
  - Introducing unpredictability to NFT drops or airdrops.

- Gamified Platforms (e.g., VeBetterDAO)
  - Engaging challenges with randomly assigned tasks, multipliers, or rewards.
  - Transparent reward distribution in competitions or leaderboards.

- Governance Mechanisms
  - Fairly selecting committee members or resolving disputes via random processes.

Heya @akanoce - with more and more dApps and gamified systems coming onto the VeBetterDAO, I wonder if this would be a good topic to bring up again.

Has anything changed on this in the 9 months it’s been up? I see the PR is still open, so I assume not, but I’m curious.

Hi @reheat , thanks for bringing this up

I indeed believe this is still really needed to bring gamification and apps on VBD to the next level, but unfortunately seems like it’s something unlikely to be carried out as a VIP, since it’s more at an application level plus the VIP/protocol team has already a lot of work to do with the upcoming hardforks

Having said this, i think a good idea to explore is the possibility to deploy an unofficial network of chainlink oracles on the network. The nodes are open source so it’s worth giving it a try, but i expect to find some (hopefully fixable) integration issues to arise due to the different tech of vechain vs ethereum.

It’s something i will personally explore in the near future, but can’t guarantee any timeline or results before evaluating the feasibility of this.
