Icons of Theia Integrates Chainlink VRF to Help Power Randomness Mechanics on its Platform
Icons of Theia — the new tactical turn-based strategy game — has integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Polygon mainnet.
By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, they now have access to a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed to determine Icons of Theia’s in-game custom outcomes, mainly the ones that originate from opening chest drops, from which players can obtain in-game NFTs such as playable characters or exclusive skins. Ultimately this creates a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as users can ensure a fair experience from doing internal transactions within the Icons of Theia ecosystem
Aiming to focus on the core principle that a game should be fun and rewarding to play, Icons of Theia will allow players to compete in exciting strategy battles, with each player controlling a team of Icons — unique playable characters — with the ultimate goal of destroying the enemy tower.
“We ultimately chose to integrate Chainlink VRF because its technology and support team are unparalleled,” says Dylan Sena, CEO of Theia Studios. “Chainlink’s oracle network, secured through the generation and on-chain verification of cryptographic proofs that prove the integrity of each random number supplied to smart contracts are pivotal to deliver the fairest and most rewarding experience to our players”, concluded Dylan.
