Lucky Races Integrates Chainlink VRF to Help Generate ‘Original Racer’ NFT Traits
Lucky Races—a play-to-earn NFT metaverse racing game—has integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on 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 generate unique genetic traits for each of our 10,000 Original Racers. Ultimately this creates a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as users can rest assured that their chances of minting a racer with rare attributes are provably fair.
Original Racer NFTs are unique 3D characters with zany, fun personalities. They are also your entry into the Lucky Races metaverse, where you will race against other players for a chance to win our in-game token, $SLIVER.
To get an Original Racer, purchase an ERC-1155 Racer Key on your blockchain of choice (Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Arbitrum, or Optimism). Choose when to redeem your key. Once per day we will mint a batch of Original Racer ERC-721 NFTs for the keys that were redeemed. To generate attributes, each batch gets randomness from Chainlink VRF on Polygon and sends the Original Racers to their owners on Ethereum.
In order to generate the traits of their Original Racers in a provably fair way, they need access to a secure random number generator (RNG) that any user can independently audit. However, RNG solutions for smart contracts require several security considerations to prevent manipulation and ensure system integrity. For instance, RNG solutions derived from blockchain data like block hashes can be exploited by miners or validators, while off-chain RNG solutions derived from off-chain APIs are opaque and don’t provide users with definitive proof about the integrity of the process.
After the Original Racer NFT launch, they will open the Lucky Races Beta game to their community. The game loop, powered by Chainlink Keepers, processes all player choices and actions fully on-chain. The game loop calls on Chainlink VRF every Play Phase to power item pickups and other important game mechanics. When we expand the metaverse to bring external NFTs into the game, we’ll rely on Chainlink VRF to generate their attributes!
“Randomness and on-chain processing are essential in fair play-to-earn gaming, and Chainlink sets the standard with VRF and Keepers. We would be struggling to build Lucky Races without the tools that Chainlink provides.”
