Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection Adopts Chainlink VRF for Fair NFT Rarity Selection – EGamers.io

Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection, a renowned NFT collection, announced its integration with the Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Ethereum network. This adoption ensures a transparent, secure and fair selection process of NFT rarity levels during minting, promoting a more engaging user experience.

Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection revolves around the exploits of Gunther, the world’s richest dog and the star of the Netflix series “Gunther’s Millions”. Stamping an NFT from this collection opens the doors to a number of exciting privileges. These perks range from access to a private Discord server with cast and crew members to an exclusive Tuscan lunch at Gunther’s villa.

“Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection aims to empower and engage Gunther’s fan base by allowing them to join Gunther and receive special benefits for being a diehard fan. The Chainlink VRF is necessary to help ensure that the NFT launch goes smoothly and that all NFT owners have a fair chance of receiving the best rarity level.” so Aurelien Leturgie and Emilie Dumay, executive producers, Nobo production.

The need for safe randomness

Certain factors must be considered when selecting an RNG to ensure fairness in NFT rarity selection. The team behind Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection knew the importance of transparency and security. Traditional RNG solutions, based on blockchain data or off-chain APIs, definitely lack proof of their integrity, making them vulnerable to manipulation. Therefore, the team sought an RNG that was both secure and independently auditable.

Chainlink VRF: The chosen solution

Among the many options, Chainlink VRF emerged as the preferred choice. Backed by an established oracle network, Chainlink VRF is backed by cutting-edge academic research. It generates and verifies on-chain cryptographic evidence, proving the integrity of each random number supplied to the smart contracts.

The unique feature of Chainlink VRF mixes block data that is not yet known with the Oracle node’s pre-plated private key. This mixture produces a random number along with cryptographic proof. The smart contract of Gunther’s Rich Dog Collection only accepts the random number if it has valid cryptographic proof. This approach assures users of the randomness and fairness of the NFT allocations to rarity.
