Hellobot, an innovative NFT venture by thingsflow, announced a few days ago the integration of Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the Ethereum mainnet.
By incorporating the top-tier decentralized oracle network, Hellobot now benefits from a secure and verifiable source of randomness essential for randomizing the contents within their mystery boxes. Furthermore, this enhancement leads to a more engaging and transparent experience for users, as NFT holders can be assured that the contents of mystery boxes are determined by verifiable randomness.
“We’re excited to leverage Chainlink VRF, a staple of the Web3 gaming and NFT space, to help power our mystery box reveal process. Proof of randomness is critical for establishing a high-integrity reveal process that gives our users high confidence that rewards are distributed fairly.”
Willy Lee, Co-Founder of Hellobot Universe
Why did Hellobot Integrate Chainlink VRF
The purpose of this integration is to enable the randomization of the mystery box reveal process in a manner that is both secure and transparent. One of the biggest challenges facing implementing traditional RNG solutions for smart contracts is the multitude of security concerns associated with them. From system integrity to possible manipulation, these concerns have been a major point of contention for many developers in the industry.
To overcome these challenges, Hellobot has chosen to leverage the state-of-the-art academic research behind Chainlink VRF, backed by a well-established oracle network. As a result, the Chainlink VRF solution allows users to audit the RNG process independently, providing a level of transparency unmatched by off-chain APIs. Additionally, the creation and on-chain verification of cryptographic proofs guarantees the integrity of each random number offered to smart contracts.

About Chainlink VRF
Chainlink VRF is a highly secure and provably fair source of on-chain randomness for all kinds of blockchain-based applications, NFTs, and games. Random Number Generation (RNG) is a mechanism for unpredictability.
RNG secures the outcome against reverse engineering. However, it’s vulnerable to miner attacks, and it requires complete trust in the data provider when it comes to off-chain implementation.
Chainlink VRF is explicitly designed to support smart contracts’ needs, providing them with an open-source and easily integrated RNG solution directly auditable on-chain by any user via cryptographic proofs. With this technology, even the oracle provider or the project developers can’t tamper the outcome.
