What is the #API3 Quantum Random Number Generator?
Numbers are randomly generated using real-time quantum fluctuation measurements at @ourANU’s Quantum Optics Group.
@API3DAO’s QRNG allows smart contracts to request this service via a first-party blockchain oracle.

How does #QRNG differ from existing Web3 RNG?
QRNG is a method of random number generation based on quantum phenomena.
Quantum randomness is referred to as ‘true’ as the mechanic of generation leans into Quantum Theory - it's not susceptible to prediction.

API3 #QRNG is a public utility we provide with the courtesy of the Australian National University (ANU).
Meaning API3 QRNG is available free of charge.
With your smart contract, you just need to request randomness from the first-party QRNG oracle.

How can #API3 QRNG be used in Web3?
QRNG use cases include P2E Gaming and generative NFTs, as well as participatory processes that require random selection.
#Polygon and @polygonstudios ecosystem can access randomness based on the outcome of a quantum event.

DeFi protocols can experiment quickly with randomness data.
Charitable foundations could now use QRNG in raffle or fundraising activities, perhaps useful for @CryptoRelief_
Other use cases may be rewards for farmers, stablecoin bond options, or Web3 prediction markets.
