League of Entropy: Not All Heroes Wear Capes

This post introduces the League of Entropy, a consortium of organizations including Cloudflare, Protocol Labs, University of Chile, EPFL, and Kudelski Security, that have joined forces to provide a quorum of decentralized randomness beacons. The League of Entropy uses the drand protocol to generate publicly verifiable random values every sixty seconds. Each founding member contributes their own high-entropy source (e.g., Cloudflare's LavaRand, EPFL's URand, UChile's Seismic Girl, Kudelski Security's ChaChaRand, Protocol Labs' InterplanetaryRand) to ensure unpredictability, unbiasability, and verifiability. The post clarifies that this public randomness is not suitable for private cryptographic keys and highlights its use cases in election auditing and lotteries.
