Musee Dezentral Integrates Chainlink VRF To Generate Random NFT Frames for Its Decentralized Museum
Musee Dezentral is pleased to announce that it has integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to bring a tamper-proof source of randomness to its smart contract. With the support of verifiable randomness provided by Chainlink VRF, users can mint provably random NFT frames beginning on February 15th.
Musee Dezentral is the world’s first decentralized NFT museum. It will house 222 NFT frames that are both unique, provably random collectibles and also a space where frame owners can hang NFT art from their collection in Musee Dezentral’s massive 3-floor metaverse museum. The complexity of connecting a project like Musee Dezentral to the Ethereum blockchain meant that the team had to design a completely custom smart contract, which led to a few challenges.
One of those challenges was connecting to a secure source of randomness. The Musee Dezentral team decided that Chainlink VRF was the perfect solution to overcome this challenge. Chainlink VRF generates provably random numbers that are demonstrably tamper-proof thanks to on-chain cryptographic proofs—transparency like this just isn’t available in other solutions.

Although each of the 222 NFT frames is unique, some frames have rare qualities. In order to help ensure the minting process is fair, the Musee Dezentral team uses Chainlink VRF to generate a provably random number that corresponds to 1 of the 222 frames.
If frame selection was done without Chainlink VRF, it's possible that a tech-savvy person or bot could cheat the process to increase the odds of receiving a rare frame, which would be unfair to the Musee Dezentral community.
By integrating Chainlink VRF into its smart contracts, Musee Dezentral doesn’t have to compromise on security or usability.
Chainlink VRF works by combining block data that is still unknown when the request is made with the oracle node's pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. The Musee Dezentral smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, and the cryptographic proof can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof. This helps provide users with automated and publicly verifiable proof directly on-chain that each application using Chainlink VRF for randomness is provably fair and cannot be tampered with or predicted by the oracle, outside entities, or the Musee Dezentral team.
“When building innovative Web3 projects, there is no guidebook. The process calls for creative infrastructural solutions such as Chainlink to help bring added security and functionality to your smart contracts. That’s why we integrated Chainlink VRF for a tamper-proof source of randomness to mint verifiably random NFT frames.” ~ Frank Hahn, CEO, Musee Dezentral
