It generates random seeds in a decentralized manner off-chain, using Pion\u2019s TSS network. This unique approach allows DeRand to function seamlessly across both EVM and non-EVM blockchains.\n\nCost Efficient:\nDeRand is free; dApps only need to pay the blockchain gas fee and the Pion network\u2019s fee which is very low.\n\nEasy Implementation:\nDeRand ensures an effortless transition for developers with smart contract libraries and a protocol structure that aligns with existing VRF platforms, requiring minimal code alterations.\n\nDecentralized and Censorship-Resistant:\nWith over 1,600 unique nodes in the Pion network, DeRand epitomizes decentralization. The random seed is produced and authenticated by a randomly rotating subset of these nodes, ensuring robust resistance to censorship.\n\nPermissionless, Modular & Flexible:\nDeRand\u2019s modular design empowers various entities to operate different protocol segments, eliminating any central point of control.", "hidden": false, "question": "Where should we look to see the impact of your project?
