ws_rand_service

A verifiable, privacy-preserving randomness service for on-chain applications, built with Rust and confidential compute.


Overview

ws_rand_service is a general-purpose randomness infrastructure service designed for blockchain applications that require fair, unbiased, and verifiable random values.

Unlike naive on-chain randomness approaches (e.g. blockhash-based randomness), this service is built with a strong security model in mind and is suitable for games, lotteries, DeFi protocols, governance mechanisms, and NFT applications.

The project is intentionally designed as a reusable primitive, not a one-off demo.


Key Goals

  • ✅ Fair and unbiased randomness generation
  • ✅ Verifiable outputs consumable by smart contracts
  • ✅ Privacy-preserving computation (no plaintext leakage)
  • ✅ Clean separation between randomness generation and consumption
  • ✅ Extensible architecture for future protocols

Architecture (High-Level)

Privacy Preserving Randomness Architecture

The service is designed so that:

  • Randomness cannot be influenced by a single actor
  • Outputs can be verified on-chain
  • Internal computation logic can remain confidential

Use Cases

  • 🎮 On-chain games and loot systems
  • 🎟️ Lotteries and raffles
  • 🖼️ NFT trait generation
  • 🗳️ DAO governance (random selection, ordering)
  • 📉 DeFi mechanisms requiring unbiased randomness

Design Principles

  • Security-first: No reliance on predictable or manipulable on-chain entropy
  • Minimal trust assumptions: No single oracle or operator controls outcomes
  • Composable: Easy to integrate with different programs and workflows
  • Protocol-agnostic: Not tied to a single application or contract

Current Status

⚠️ Early development / experimental

This repository is under active development.
APIs, interfaces, and internal design may change as the project evolves.


Roadmap

  • Core randomness computation module
  • Verifiable output format
  • Solana example consumer program
  • Security review and threat model
  • Documentation and usage examples

Security Notes

This project aims to avoid common randomness pitfalls such as:

  • Block producer manipulation
  • Predictable entropy sources
  • Single-operator control

That said, this code has not yet been audited.
Do not use in production environments without proper review.
