Terminated 30d 19hrs ago

Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1383

  • The Ideal Network (IDN) is a randomness infrastructure for Polkadot, created by a team from the Polkadot Blockchain Academy.
  • Polkadot lacks a good randomness solution, which can lead to security risks and high costs.
  • IDN will provide a trustless randomness layer with features like timelock encryption and smart contract integration.
  • It is supported by Web3 Foundation, NIST, and the University of Colorado.
  • Projects like Asset Hub, Bittensor, and ChainSafe are interested in using IDN.
  • IDN can be used for DeFi, gaming, governance, NFTs, and token distribution.
  • The team is requesting 294,585 USDC + 840 DOT to build and maintain the network.
  • Contact them on Discord, Element, or email for more info.

Bringing variable and secured randomness to Asset Hub will benefit the ecosystem.

This could be really beneficial to the Polkadot ecosystem, especially Asset hub at this moment, as it aims to provide a critical infrastructure component - verifiable randomness. True randomness can help with network security and some specific usecases. We would encourage the team to reach out to other projects/parachain teams to collaborate and implement with Ideal Network. We think that the amount requested is reasonable. And it's also great to see such ideas coming from teams that have been through the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, which also proves its usefulness.

I think it's interesting though I can not 100% understand all details. I'd like to see the potential use cases especially to AssetHub. My only concern is that maybe the team can propose a smaller scope. It looks this proposal are asking support for the whole roadmap.

The team is looking solid. And the network requires a decentralized randomness source. I would've preferred a milestoned approach, but I think the credentials are in place for this to be considered a safe bet. Aye.

This is a new service built on Polkadot that brings cost savings vis a vis Chainlink VRF. Eventually it will be exported to other ecosystems

I am not convinced this is actually helpful but I like more info as well.
