Utilizing Verifiable Random Functions (VRFs) for Security in Hyperliquid Coin Flip Game

To ensure the integrity and fairness of the coin flip game on the Hyperliquid blockchain, we plan to integrate a Verifiable Random Function (VRF) for generating random outcomes. VRFs provide a cryptographically secure method of producing randomness, where the result is both unpredictable and verifiable on the blockchain.

While the final VRF provider has not yet been selected—potential options include Chainlink or Gelato—none of the existing solutions currently support the Hyperliquid network at this time. Once a provider deploys support for Hyperliquid, we will implement their VRF solution, acknowledging that usage will incur associated fees.

How VRFs Enhance Fairness and Security

The use of a VRF eliminates the possibility of tampering or manipulation by ensuring that the random number generation process is:

1. Unpredictable: Players cannot predict the outcome because the VRF algorithm ensures that the block of data used to compute the random number is unknown prior to execution.

2. Tamper-Proof: The VRF process is decentralized and operates within the immutable environment of the blockchain, making it resistant to external interference.

3. Verifiable: The randomness and its source can be independently verified by users through the blockchain, fostering transparency and trust.

By leveraging a VRF, our game creates a secure and trustless environment where all participants can be confident that the outcomes are genuinely random and cannot be influenced by any party. This technology is critical in building a fair and reliable gaming experience on the Hyperliquid blockchain.
