Everipedia Integrates Chainlink VRF to Power NFT Raffles on Polygon for IQ Stakers

Everipedia is launching NFT raffles powered by Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on Polygon for HiIQ stakers, helping ensure winners are picked in a provably fair manner. IQ holders who stake their IQ with HiIQ will have the chance to get limited edition NFTs in addition to IQ token rewards for staking.

With the launch of NFT Raffles, every HiIQ token you hold acts as a raffle ticket. Your HiIQ token balance is based on how much IQ you’ve staked and how long you’ve staked your IQ for. The more IQ you’ve staked with HiIQ and the longer you stake it for, the greater the chance you have of getting an NFT.

To help ensure the fairness of the NFT raffles, Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) has been integrated on Polygon to select the winners. Chainlink VRF provides a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed to select the winners of the HiIQ NFT raffles in a verifiably fair and random fashion. Ultimately this creates a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as HiIQ stakers can rest assured that the random numbers used in raffles are verifiably fair and were not tampered with.
