vEmpire DDAO is Integrating Chainlink VRF for Fair Randomness in Upcoming Trading Card Game, vEmpire: The Beginning

We’re excited to announce that vEmpire DDAO — a Democratic Decentralised Autonomous Organisation — will integrate Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC blockchains.

vEmpire believes by integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network of Chainlink, we can obtain access to a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed to randomly assign players’ hands in the upcoming online trading card game, vEmpire: The Beginning. Ultimately this creates a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as users have a verifiably fairer way of getting Legion distributed into their hands in battle. This levels the playing field when it comes to battling and earning VEMP.

vEmpire DDAO is a new, fairer system of DAO which rewards honour and loyalty to the DDAO in more or equal measure to monetary contributions. The Empire’s goal is to highlight centralisation in supposedly decentralised projects and bring power back to the communities where their founders, contributors, and whales have and will not relinquish control.

In order to ensure a fairer way of battling your opponents and avoid pay-to-win scenarios, we need 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. For instance, RNG solutions using on-chain data like block hashes can be exploited by blockchain miners, while off-chain RNG solutions like traditional data providers are opaque and don’t provide users with definitive proof about the integrity of the process.

After reviewing various solutions, we selected Chainlink VRF because it’s based on cutting-edge academic research, supported by Chainlink’s time-tested oracle infrastructure, and secured through the generation and on-chain verification of cryptographic proofs that prove the integrity of each random number supplied to smart contracts.

Chainlink VRF works by combining block data that 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. The vEmpire smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, and the cryptographic proof can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof. This provides our users with automated and verifiable assurances directly on-chain that vEmpire is provably fair and was not tampered with by the oracle, outside entities, or the vEmpire team.

“When looking for a fair, and secure way to provide random number generation in our game, Chainlink VRF immediately stood head and shoulders above the rest.” –Dominic Ryder, CEO of vEmpire

About vEmpire DDAO

vEmpire DDAO is a gaming protocol invading the Decentraland Metaverse and providing users with a play to earn NFT trading card game. vEmpire’s goal is to highlight projects at risk of becoming centralised or who have already fallen victim to it. vEmpire DDAO seeks to combat the monopolisation and monetization of the Metaverse space, whilst also leading the fight against unfair or unequal protocols. vEmpire will do this by leading the charge with a new form of Democratic DAO, gifting stakers a percentage of profits from it’s games and providing equal votes to users, not heavy voting rights to whales.

In order to invade the Metaverse, vEmpire is launching Metaverse token staking pools. These pools will allow the staking of SAND, MANA, AXS, and other tokens, which are incentivised by the VEMP emissions schedule. vEmpire will use these tokens to invade or settle inside other protocols, with 50% profits reinvested within the strategy and 50% paid to the token stakers, as a secondary yield in the native token.

This allows vEmpire to fight centralisation whilst also providing yield aggregation and profits to its users and citizens of vEmpire. vEmpire will also facilitate a NFT trading card game on their platform where users can play to earn by battling each other. Holding vEmpire’s NFT cards will boost the strength of a users hand, meaning that they will get a variable advantage over their opponent, and thus are more likely to be the highest earning users of the platform.
