With a collective itch to take a first and meaningful step into the intensely fascinating world of Ethereum development, what would become the CryptoVikings team — a group of long-term friends; two developers and one artist — decided to take a deeper look at the growing wealth of generative NFT collections in early 2021 and make an attempt at bringing something interesting and different to the table.

Now, after many late nights, they are excited to talk in more technical terms about the outcome of our work — CryptoVikings; a hand-drawn generative NFT art collection on Polygon. As part of the launch, they’ve integrated Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) into their procedural, truly random, and equitable minting/generation procedure. With Chainlink VRF providing a verifiably tamper-proof RNG, they are able to produce a full and meaningful on-chain representation of a CryptoViking to use as a source of immutable truth for asset generation, resulting in a completely non-manipulable and provably-fair minting outcome.
