Developing a verifiable onchain randomness method using zero-knowledge proofs for EVM networks with EC precompiles, aiming to create prover node software and a decentralized VRF marketplace.
zkVRF is a novel method for verifiable onchain randomness (VRF) enabled by ZKPs.
It enables everyone to access VRF (and run their own nodes) on networks unsupported by the current state-of-the-art VRF providers.
The only requirement on the EVM network is to have EC precompiles.
We created the project during the recent ETHOnline hackathon by ETHGlobal and won it: https://ethglobal.com/showcase/zkvrf-rt1d2
The positive feedback from the judges and the community motivates us to work on the project further; therefore, we are looking for R&D grants to continue the work.
With the grants, we aim to create prover node software and a fully permissionless and decentralized marketplace for VRF.
