Metagalaxy Land Integrates Chainlink
Metagalaxy Land Integrates Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on BNB Chain mainnet. By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, Metagalaxy now has access to a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed to mint its Planet NFTs in a provably fair manner.
Ultimately this creates a more exciting and transparent user experience, as users can independently verify that they have an equal opportunity to mint the planets with the most exclusive resources.
Cowboys own planets and can terraform, manufacture high-value goods, construct ships, and hire Space Pirates. Space Pirates control a single spaceship and can join a Cowboy’s clans to fight for them in a joint quest to conquer the galaxy. Essentially, Cowboys are the brains and Space Pirates are the hired muscle.
In addition, all Space Cowboys are the owner of a planet, represented by a Planet NFT. Owning a planet in the metaverse gives Cowboys access to more features. It includes constructing planetary and interplanetary manufacturing lines, terraforming planets, forging ships, and forming federations.
In order to distribute Planet NFTs to players in a verifiably random manner, Metagalaxy needs access to a secure random number generator (RNG) that any user could independently audit. However, RNG solutions for smart contracts require several security considerations to prevent manipulation and ensure system integrity.
Integration Importance
For instance, RNG solutions derived from blockchain data like block hashes can be exploited by miners/validators, while off-chain RNG solutions derived from off-chain APIs are opaque and don’t provide users with definitive proof of the integrity of the process.
“By integrating Chainlink VRF, our users can independently verify that the random number generator used in the minting process is provably fair and helps ensure that each player has an equal chance to mint the most valuable Planet NFTs.” — Can Gedik, CEO
Chainlink VRF works by combining block data. It is still unknown when the request is made with the oracle node’s pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof.
Uses of Chainlink VRF
Furthermore, the Metagalaxy Land smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has valid cryptographic proof. The cryptographic proof can only generates if the VRF process is tamper-proof.
Additionally, this provides its users with automated and verifiable assurances directly on-chain. This will enable Planet NFTs minting process to be provably fair and was not tampered with by the oracle, outside entities, or the Metagalaxy Land team.
ABOUT Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services. The networks provide smart contracts with a way to reliably connect to any external API. It also leverages secure off-chain computations for enabling feature-rich applications. Additionally, Chainlink currently secures tens of billions of dollars across DeFi. It also includes insurance, gaming, as well as other major industries. Chainlink also offers global enterprises and leading data providers a universal gateway to all blockchains.
ABOUT Metagalaxy Land
Metagalaxy Land is a metaverse strategy and city-building game where different types of players work together. Collect the awards and discover new artifacts. Metagalaxy Land’s major purpose is to provide its investors with the play2earn approach. In addition, owning an NFT is related to three key requirements.
