3-Rand Session 2: Randomness Generation in Special Settings

The second session of the 3-Rand Web3 Randomness Workshop focuses on advanced techniques for generating randomness in specialized environments. The session features four expert presentations:
1. Arnab Roy introduces STROBE (Stake-based Threshold Random Beacons), a novel approach that offers unique streaming capabilities and perpetual history generation for random beacons.
2. Sourav Das presents Aptos' Weighted VRF, a distributed randomness protocol designed for proof-of-stake blockchains with varying validator weights.
3. Guru Vamsi Policharla discusses Timelock Encryption with Silent Setup, a method to encrypt messages that can only be decrypted after a specific future time without requiring interactive setup.
4. Ke Wu explores Game-theoretically Fair Randomness Generation, addressing the challenges of achieving fairness in multi-party randomness protocols against majority-sized coalitions.
This session delves into cutting-edge research and implementations in randomness generation, covering topics such as threshold cryptography, verifiable random functions, timelock puzzles, and game-theoretic approaches to fairness. Ideal for researchers, cryptographers, and blockchain developers interested in the latest advancements in randomness for Web3 applications.
