drand is a threshold network for generating publicly verifiable, unpredictable, unbiasable randomness, operated by the League of Entropy.https://bsky.app/profile/drand.lovehttps://bsky.app/profile/drand.love/post/3lww2zz7ise2sWe heard you all like random cats, so here's our random cat of the day. Chosen uniformly at random with verifiable randomness from our quicknet VRF round 20993439 among all the 1 available cat to draw from.21 Aug 2025 13:41 +0000at://did:plc:dvrgtskmsyccn4szomgiagiy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lww2zz7ise2shttps://bsky.app/profile/drand.love/post/3ljl3242mz22hNew blog post just dropped!
