Powering Fairness Across Initia: Band VRF is Live and Ready to Elevate Your On-Chain Games

Band Protocol is thrilled to announce the live mainnet deployment of Band VRF (Verifiable Random Function) on Initia, unlocking a new level of fairness and transparency for developers across the ecosystem. Following its successful integration with Zaar Chain—an EVM Appchain purpose-built for fun-first decentralized games—Band VRF is now available for any Initia Appchain, ready to fuel innovation in gaming, NFTs, lotteries, and beyond.

Why Band VRF on Initia?

Initia’s modular architecture and its growing network of appchains provide a fertile ground for consumer dApps that demand speed, affordability, and flexibility. Band VRF brings cryptographically secure, publicly verifiable randomness to this equation, solving a critical need for dApps where trust in random outcomes is non-negotiable.

Whether you're building a P2E (play-to-earn) game, generative NFT series, or a decentralized lottery protocol, Band VRF ensures that the randomness at the heart of your app is provably fair, tamper-proof, and auditable on-chain.

What does Band VRF do?

Band Protocol’s Verifiable Random Function (Band VRF) provides secure, tamper-proof, and unpredictable randomness - essential for decentralized apps like lotteries or leader elections. In these cases, the random outcome must be fair and free from manipulation. Band VRF achieves this by generating fresh randomness that’s verifiable and independent of any app’s internal state, making it impossible to cheat, predict, or manipulate the results. And now, this is live on Initia Mainnet, ready for production across all Initia appchains.

Band VRF on Initia is:

• Plug-and-Play – Minimal setup via Initia tooling and Band VRF provider contracts
• Scalable – Designed for high-volume requests from games, NFT drops, and DeFi apps
• Fully Verifiable – Results are backed by cryptographic proofs and Merkle inclusion

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel when you already have one. If you're building a dApp on Initia, Band VRF provides a ready-to-integrate, random function with verifiability by design.

A Proven Use Case: Zaar Chain

Zaar Chain, one of the first appchains on Initia, is already demonstrating the power of Band VRF in action. As the go-to network for permissionless, experimental Web3 fun, Zaar integrated Band VRF to power games like Zaar Flip—a custom coin-flipping experience that lets players set their odds and run up to 100 turbo flips with verifiable outcomes.

Band VRF enhances Zaar by:

• Ensuring transparency in high-frequency, randomized games
• Preventing manipulation and increasing player trust
• Powering game mechanics where users can become “the house” using INIT tokens

Zaar is just the beginning—any Initia appchain or native app can now tap into this same level of verifiable transparency.

Let’s Build the Future of Fair dApps on Initia

Are you developing a new Initia Appchain or launching your next-gen Web3 app on Initia? Band VRF is your foundation for fairness. From loot box games to randomized staking pools, Band VRF ensures your users never have to take your word for it—they can verify it themselves.
