Dogira Will Integrate Chainlink VRF to Secure Decentralized Game Event Generation
We’re excited to announce that Dogira — a company focused on creating blockchain gaming experiences, gaming ecosystems and utility based NFTs— will integrate Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Polygon blockchain. By integrating Chainlink’s industry-leading decentralized oracle network, we can obtain access to a tamper-proof and auditable source of randomness needed to provide an innovative and entertaining experience for players in our future games, one which is built from the ground up with decentralization in mind. Ultimately this creates a more exciting, transparent, and fraud-proof user experience, as users can rest assured that each new playthrough, encounter, or item is truly unique and enhanced with entropy from Chainlink VRF.
Chainlink VRF affords the Dogira team the opportunity to integrate blockchain-based technology into our products, whether it’s games, NFTs, or staking mechanics. Nearly everything in gaming relies on some sort of randomness — such as attack rolls, dodge chances, procedural map generation, enemy spawn rates, loot drops, loot rarity — and when we’re integrating that functionality into smart contracts, we need a tool that can make it fair, and immutable. Usually, this is obtained through a centralized server, which would essentially be opaque as far as players and community members are concerned. Not only is this difficult to verify as provably fair, but it allows for a central point of failure. Chainlink VRF allows us to be fully on-chain; granting us randomness as a service, alongside the added benefit of provable transparency, security and decentralization.
In order to enable the fair and decentralized means of generating random encounters with NPCs, loot,, and other in-game mechanics, 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 guarantee 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 Dogira 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 each game mechanic is provably fair and cannot be tampered with by the oracle, outside entities, or the Dogira team.
“Chainlink VRF serves as the bridge for truly bringing gaming to the blockchain. Eliminating the need for black-box random generation allows gaming to remain fully on-chain, is verifiable and fair, and without a central point of failure. What we’re building simply wouldn’t be possible without Chainlink. ”
