Mūsu nesen publicētais raksts skaidro, kāpēc privātuma saglabāšana ir svarīga, galvenās tehnoloģijas, kas to nodrošina, un kā ARPA tīkls turpina attīstīt ZK pētījumus - tostarp zk-SNARK lietošanas gadījumus pārbaudāmiem AI aģentiem. https://t.co/npwd4T8fJY https://twitter.com/arpaofficial/status/2013673378910011830
Randcast Playground uzlabojums: Multi-Chain, Zema latentuma nejaušība ar pārbaudāmu zīmējumu, rullēšanu un Gacha režīmiem
Pārbaudāma nejaušība ir galvenā primitīva daļa daudziem Web3 lietojumiem, sākot no kopienas loterijām un dāvanām līdz spēlēm, NFT izsniegšanām un probabilistiskajām mehānikām. Pēdējos mēnešos mēs esam strādājuši pie Randcast Playground, lai padarītu decentralizētu nejaušību vieglāk izmēģināmu, vieglāk saprotamu un vieglāk būvējamu.
Randcast ir uz ķēdes pārbaudāmas nejaušības pakalpojums, kas izmanto ARPA tīklu, lai ģenerētu decentralizētu, pārbaudāmu nejaušību. Nejaušības pieprasījumus apstrādā vairāki ARPA tīkla mezgli, veicot BLS sliekšņa parakstu uzdevumus. Rezultātā iegūtais paraksts tiek pārbaudīts uz ķēdes ar Randcast Adaptera līgumu un pēc tam tiek izmantots kā ievade nejaušības ģenerēšanai.
Tagad tas atbalsta: ☑️Daudzas lielās tīkla (ETH, BSC, Base, Optimism, Taiko utt.) ☑️Zemu latentumu nejaušību ar zemu, prognozējamu izmaksu ☑️Ritināšanas, zīmēšanas un gacha režīmus, ar izvēles ziņojumiem (piemēram, Merkle saknes) caurredzamībai ☑️Pilnībā https://t.co/2MAlUrd4la https://twitter.com/arpaofficial/status/2013448312561730026
Liels paldies mūsu partneriem, kas šo ziemu kopā ar mums virza pārbaudāmu un privātumu aizsargājošu infrastruktūru 🤝🔐
@vaporfund, @PredX_AI, un mūsu AVS operatori @BlockscapeLab, @NodesGuru, @EigenYields - kā arī ekosistēmu veidojumi, piemēram, @RaveDAO, ko nodrošina Randcast nejaušība.

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.

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.
