Live on Avalanche Fuji Testnet
On-Chain Randomness for Web3 Protocols
Committee-verified VRF with 5-of-8 threshold BLS signatures. No single node can predict or manipulate your randomness.
Built for DeFi protocols, NFT collections, DAOs, and on-chain gaming. Compare to Chainlink VRF, Gelato, and Pyth Entropy.
Why On-Chain Verification Matters
Different VRF solutions make different trade-offs. Here's an honest comparison.
Alternative Approaches
Chainlink, Gelato, Pyth—each has trade-offs
- •Chainlink VRF: Single node per request, but on-chain verifiable
- •Gelato VRF: Uses drand (16+ nodes), but BLS not verifiable on EVM
- •Pyth Entropy: Two-party commit-reveal, on-chain verifiable
- -Most charge per request (1,000 values = 1,000 requests)
Key Trade-off
Distributed source OR on-chain verification—pick one
Threshold Committee
AFXO TrueRandom Beacon (5-of-8 BLS)
- +5-of-8 nodes must agree on randomness
- +Byzantine fault tolerant: Up to 2 nodes can fail or be malicious
- +No single point of failure: system continues if nodes drop
- +One beacon = unlimited derived values (no additional cost)
Trust Requirement
No single party can predict or manipulate randomness

Unlimited Derivation: The Beacon Advantage
Per-Request Models
Pay for each random value. Need 10,000 values? Pay 10,000 times.
10,000 NFT traits: ~$1,000-3,000+ (varies by network and gas)
Beacon Model (AFXO TrueRandom)
One beacon published per cadence. Derive unlimited values locally using cryptographic expansion.
R = Keccak256(beacon || app_seed || index)
10,000 NFT traits: $299/month (one beacon, unlimited derivations)
Example: NFT Collection Reveal
Collection size
10,000 NFTs
Traits per NFT

Per-request VRF (estimated)

Honest Comparison: Web3 VRF Solutions
We believe in transparent positioning. Here's how AFXO Beacon compares to other Web3 VRF providers.
Information as of February 2026. Verify directly with providers for current details.
| Feature | AFXO Beacon | Chainlink VRF | Gelato VRF | Pyth Entropy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security Architecture | 5-of-8 committee | Single node per request | drand (16+ nodes)* | Two-party commit-reveal |
| Byzantine Fault Tolerance | Yes (tolerates 2 failures) | No | Yes (drand threshold)* | No |
| Unlimited Derivation | Yes | No (1 per request) | No (1 per request) | No (1 per request) |
| Processing Speed | <5ms | 2-5ms | 5-10ms | 5-10ms |
| On-Chain Settlement | ~5-7s (Avalanche) | 2-30s (varies) | 2-30s (varies) | 2-30s (varies) |
| Pricing Model | Fixed monthly | Gas + premium per request | Freemium + gas | ~$0.01-0.02/request |
| Enterprise SLA | Up to 99.99% | None published | None published | None published |
| Free Tier | No | No | 10k/month | No |
| Network Coverage | Avalanche (expanding) | 20+ networks | 10+ networks | 15+ networks |
| SOC 2 / ISO 27001 | Roadmap Q3-Q4 2026 | Data Feeds only* | No | No |
Our recommendations: Use Gelato for testing and MVPs (free tier). Use Pyth for multi-chain reach. Use Chainlink for established protocols. Use AFXO Beacon for dedicated committee control, on-chain BLS verification, unlimited derivation, and enterprise SLA.
*Gelato VRF uses drand (League of Entropy) which has 16+ distributed nodes with threshold BLS. However, BLS12-381 signatures cannot be natively verified on EVM chains, so you trust the relay. AFXO implements BLS verification on-chain via precompiles.
Chainlink's SOC 2/ISO 27001 certifications (Aug 2025) cover Data Feeds and CCIP only, not VRF specifically. Chainlink VRF has separate GLI-19 gaming certification (Sept 2022).

AFXO Beacon Advantages
- • Fixed monthly cost - no gas surprises
- • Unlimited on-chain derivations from each beacon
- • 5-of-8 committee with on-chain BLS verification
- • Enterprise SLA with uptime guarantees
Important Disclaimers (as of February 2026):
- • Estimates only: Competitor costs are estimates based on typical gas conditions. Actual costs vary significantly with network congestion and may change without notice.
- • Free tier: Gelato VRF offers 10k free requests/month - great for testing and low-volume use.
- • Verify independently: Always confirm current pricing directly with providers before making decisions.
- • AFXO pricing is fixed regardless of gas prices, providing budget predictability at scale.
- • All providers require gas costs for on-chain delivery. AFXO quotes include committee verification but not consumer gas.
