API3

API3 partnered with Australian National University (ANU) Quantum Optics Group to launch API3 QRNG in May 2022, the first true random number generator for smart contracts using quantum vacuum fluctuations measured through balanced homodyne detection. ANU's quantum random numbers are generated from electromagnetic field vacuum fluctuations at all frequencies, providing ultra-high bandwidth truly unpredictable randomness unlike pseudo-random generators. API3 QRNG is free to use (only gas fees), available on 13 blockchain platforms including Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Metis, Moonbeam, and RSK. The system is hosted on Amazon Web Services with encrypted data transmission, destroying random numbers after use. Applications include gaming, NFTs, lotteries, crypto wallet generation, and blockchain applications requiring quantum-level unpredictability. API3 QRNG addresses Web3 security demands by providing quantum mechanics-based randomness for decentralized applications, smart contracts, and cryptographic operations requiring provably random numbers from natural quantum processes.
