Randcast Playground Upgrade: Multi-Chain, Niedrig-Latenz Zufälligkeit mit Überprüfbarem Ziehen, Rollen und Gacha-Modi

Überprüfbare Zufälligkeit ist ein Kernelement für viele Web3-Anwendungen, von Gemeinschaftslotterien und Verlosungen bis hin zu Spielen, NFT-Drops und probabilistischen Mechaniken. In den letzten Monaten haben wir am Randcast Playground gearbeitet, um dezentrale Zufälligkeit einfacher auszuprobieren, leichter zu verstehen und einfacher zu bauen.

Randcast ist ein on-chain verifizierbarer Zufallsdienst, der das ARPA-Netzwerk nutzt, um dezentralisierte, verifizierbare Zufälligkeit zu erzeugen. Zufallsanforderungen werden von mehreren ARPA-Netzwerkknoten bearbeitet, die BLS-Schwellenwertsignaturaufgaben ausführen. Die resultierende Signatur wird on-chain durch den Randcast-Adaptervertrag verifiziert und dann als Eingabe für die Zufallsgenerierung verwendet.

Dear ARPA community,

As we settle into the new year, the momentum at ARPA Network continues to accelerate. This winter has been defined by the strategic expansion of our Verifiable AI Framework, significant technical upgrades to the Randcast Playground, and a deepening of our ecosystem partnerships. From launching major privacy-preserving frameworks to maintaining billions in TVL, ARPA is steadfast in its mission to build a more secure, verifiable, and decentralized future. Thank you for your continued support! Here is what we have been building and launching since our previous update.

Tech Upgrades: Strengthening the Foundation

This winter brought crucial enhancements across the ARPA stack, focusing on developer experience and network robustness:

Randcast Playground Enhancements: We have significantly improved the Randcast Playground to better serve developers. Updates include the addition of a Gacha Action Type, improved support for Weighted Draw and Merkle Roots, and a more seamless Network Switch experience.

Network & Protocol Updates: The BLS-TSS-Network has been adapted to Alloy from Ethers-rs, optimizing performance and compatibility. We also added support for HTTP Polling for listening to contract events, streamlining integration for dApps.

Expanded Testnet Support: To support broader testing environments, we have officially rolled out support for the Hoodi Testnet and Taiko Hoodi Testnet.

ARPA AVS Growth Metrics

Total Value Locked (TVL): $4.9 Billion

Number of Stakers: 68.8K

Number of Operators: 14

Strategic Integrations & Ecosystem Partnerships

We have strengthened our ecosystem through high-impact collaborations that leverage ARPA’s verifiable infrastructure for real-world utility:

Launch of Verifiable AI Framework: A major milestone this season was the official launch of our Verifiable AI Framework using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). This initiative brings trustless, privacy-preserving AI verification to sectors like identity, analytics, and gaming.

Featured on Coinmarketcap and Business Insider.

ARPA x PredX: We partnered with PredX, a Solana-native AI prediction market, to provide verifiable randomness and secure computation. This collaboration extended into a community challenge centered on the theme “What’s Verifiable AI to You?” to engage the ecosystem in critical conversations.

New Partnership with Vapor: We are excited to partner with Vapor, a leading non-custodial Ethereum staking platform, to explore how ARPA’s privacy-preserving computation can enhance the next wave of AI-powered DeFi services.

Ongoing AVS Collaborations:

Blockscape Partnership: We continue to cooperate closely with our AVS operator Blockscape. As ARPA rolls out various updates, Blockscape maintains robust and secure operations.

Nodes.Guru Partnership: As we implement upgrades, Nodes.Guru continues to ensure high-performance operations while exploring synergies to strengthen the decentralized infrastructure layer.

EigenYields Partnership: Our close partnership continues to fortify AVS stability, decentralization, and operator performance as we roll out technical enhancements.

Randcast Powers RaveDAO: ARPA Randcast powered the RaveDAO Genesis Rewards Raffle, bringing verifiable, on-chain randomness to the world’s first on-chain entertainment network.

Thought Leadership & Media

Our leadership and research teams have been active in driving the global narrative around Zero-Knowledge technology and Verifiable AI:

OpEd on CoinDesk: Our CEO Felix Xu published an OpEd titled “Zero-Knowledge Tech Is the Key to Quantum-Proofing Bitcoin,” breaking down why ZK tech is essential for safeguarding Bitcoin against future threats.

Read it here on Coindesk

Hackernoon Feature: Felix also explored trustless inference and algorithmic proofs in his piece “Why AI Must Learn to Verify Itself,” highlighting ARPA’s role at the forefront of verifiable AI research.

Looking Ahead

As we move further into 2026, ARPA Network is poised for continued growth. With the launch of our Verifiable AI Framework and a robust suite of partnerships, we are more committed than ever to powering the infrastructure of a decentralized, privacy-preserving world. Thank you to our partners, our operators, and most importantly our community for continuing to be a part of this journey!

About ARPA

ARPA Network (ARPA) is a decentralized, secure computation network built to improve the fairness, security, and privacy of blockchains. The ARPA threshold BLS signature network serves as the infrastructure for a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), secure wallet, cross-chain bridge, and decentralized custody across multiple blockchains.

ARPA was previously known as ARPA Chain, a privacy-preserving Multi-party Computation (MPC) network founded in 2018. ARPA Mainnet has completed over 224,000 computation tasks in the past years. Our experience in MPC and other cryptography laid the foundation for our innovative threshold BLS signature schemes (TSS-BLS) system design and led us to today’s ARPA Network.

Randcast, a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), is the first application that leverages ARPA as infrastructure. Randcast offers a cryptographically generated random source with superior security and low cost compared to other solutions. Metaverse, game, lottery, NFT minting and whitelisting, key generation, and blockchain validator task distribution can benefit from Randcast’s tamper-proof randomness.
