Wondering the same thing myself. The entire problem with proof of stake is that the only thing in the digital realm that can be relied on as a source of objective truth is computation, hence proof of work.
How do you get verified (true) randomness without an oracle and without a connection to the analog world (proof of work)?
It would be amusing if the answer was randomness that came from a proof of work algorithm.
- SEJeff 4y agoAn oracle is a totally sensible approach for certain use cases, see the VRF support in chain link as an example: https://blog.chain.link/verifiable-random-function-vrf/ https://blog.chain.link/verifiable-random-function-vrf/
