Inside the Entropy

This post introduces the League of Entropy, a network of distributed, publicly verifiable randomness beacons based on the drand project. It details the cryptographic architecture, including distributed key generation and threshold signature schemes, to provide verifiable randomness for applications like elections and lotteries. The post explains the concept of entropy, how randomness is sampled from natural phenomena and user characteristics, and the mathematical intuition behind threshold cryptography to ensure randomness even with corrupted beacons.
