CityDAO Integrates Chainlink VRF

CityDAO has integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on Ethereum mainnet. By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, CityDAO now have access to a verifiable source of on-chain randomness that is both independently auditable and completely tamper-proof. Ultimately, this gives their Citizens a way to verify that their 950 NFT land plots are raffled in a provably random manner.

CityDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that is pioneering collective real-world land ownership. Currently, they are preparing to tokenize the first plot of land on-chain—a 40-acre parcel in Wyoming, USA known as Parcel 0. Due to the physical size of Parcel 0, they are minting 950 NFT plots. However, in the past few weeks they have grown to over 10,000 Citizens (governing DAO members), meaning that not every Citizen can receive a land plot.

“Chainlink VRF helps CityDAO further establish itself as a transparent, fair, and decentralized organization. With 950 land plots being raffled, Chainlink VRF gives our Citizens strong assurances that winners are chosen in a verifiably random and tamper-proof manner, and every Citizen has an equal chance of being chosen.” —the CityDAO team. 

In order to randomly select winners during the NFT plot raffle, they needed access to a secure random number generator (RNG) that any user could independently audit in order to honor their ethos of fairness, transparency, and commitment to decentralization.

ABOUT CityDAO
CityDAO is building a network city of decentralized ownership for a community of passionate web3 builders. In doing so, we are pioneering the use of decentralized blockchain technology for physical assets to create a more efficient, fair, and opportunistic world for all.

ABOUT CHAINLINK
Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services needed to power hybrid smart contracts on any blockchain. Chainlink oracle networks provide smart contracts with a way to reliably connect to any external API and leverage secure off-chain computations for enabling feature-rich applications. Chainlink currently secures tens of billions of dollars across DeFi, insurance, gaming, and other major industries, and offers global enterprises and leading data providers a universal gateway to all blockchains.
