Introduced the League of Entropy, a consortium of organizations providing a decentralized randomness beacon using the drand protocol. This enhances the trustworthiness and unpredictability of public randomness for applications like lotteries and election audits by aggregating entropy from multiple independent sources (Cloudflare's LavaRand, EPFL's URand, UChile's Seismic Girl, Kudelski Security's ChaChaRand, and Protocol Labs' InterplanetaryRand). The post clarifies that public randomness from beacons should not be used for private cryptographic keys.
