LonelyPop Integrates Chainlink
LonelyPop announces that they have integrated with Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to help ensure a fair and verifiably random NFT reveal for all LonelyPop NFT minters, regardless of whether they participate in the public, private, or Dutch Auction sale.
LonelyPop was created with the intention of raising awareness of the importance of mental health and specifically the challenges of loneliness. They built this art-centered project to gather a community around one central message — let’s be lonely together. By holding a LonelyPop NFT, you become a member of the LonelyPop family, community, and ecosystem.
This means creating safe spaces where members of the LonelyPop family can chat, share ideas, and begin building meaningful long-term relationships. Furtheremore, LonelyPop NFTs provide a common ground and support people in making lifelong connections. That’s why it’s so important we make a great start with the LonelyPop NFTs — and that begins with the distribution and reveal.
The Role of Verifiable Randomness in LonelyPop
They wanted to take the time to explain the role of Chainlink VRF and how it helps power the fair and random reveal of LonelyPop NFT images.
In addition, they made Chainlink VRF a core component of the LonelyPop NFT minting structure because they value transparency and fairness in everything they do. Using Chainlink VRF for an NFT reveal is not just best practice for any NFT project, but a way for them to definitively prove to its users that the RNG behind image shuffling and the subsequent NFT reveal is truly random and can not be manipulated.
What Chainlink Do?
However, LonelyPop NFT smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof. This provides their users with automated and verifiable assurances directly on-chain that the shuffling of NFT images. Using Chainlink VRF is undeniably random, fair, and was not tampered with by the oracle, outside entities, or the LonelyPop or 0xStudio team.
Most importantly, , Chainlink VRF is needed because blockchain-based randomness is not always secure; there is a chance of miner exploitation. On the other hand, in-house solutions are opaque.
“Chainlink VRF is the standard solution for NFT projects that need a secure source of randomness. It checks all the boxes, from verifiability to transparency and security. It gives our team peace of mind and inspires confidence from our community that we truly believe in creating a fair and robust system for this LonelyPop NFT mint.” — Noinah, artist and co-founder of LonelyPop NFTs.
