Proof Random API – Free drand Beacon Sampler
x402
Proof Random API – Free drand Beacon Sampler is a paid API for AI agents from proof-random-api.pn-26f.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).
Relays a drand quicknet randomness beacon with nonce-bound reproducible sampling, returning verifiable on-chain randomness that clients must verify via BLS signature.

How this service works
A free drand quicknet beacon relay with nonce-bound reproducible sampling. Client-side BLS verification required.
Output
Returns a drand quicknet beacon payload including the current round number, the randomness value (hex or base64), and a BLS signature. The nonce-bound sampling makes results reproducible for a given nonce, and clients are expected to perform BLS verification independently to confirm authenticity.
Example use cases
Fair on-chain lottery draw
“I'm running a lottery smart contract and need a tamper-proof random seed — can you pull a fresh drand quicknet beacon sample with the BLS signature so I can verify it client-side before the draw?”
Random seed for NFT trait generation
“I need a cryptographically verifiable random value to assign traits fairly across my NFT collection — grab me a nonce-bound drand beacon sample I can reproduce and audit later.”
Unbiased winner selection for a giveaway
“I'm picking a giveaway winner and want to prove the selection was fair — fetch a drand randomness beacon with full BLS proof so participants can independently verify the result.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://proof-random-api.pn-26f.workers.dev/v1/api-qa?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need publicly verifiable, tamper-proof randomness backed by the drand distributed network (quicknet) and want nonce-bound reproducibility for auditability. Prefer it over pseudo-random or centralized RNG services when cryptographic fairness and BLS-verifiable proofs are required — e.g. for lotteries, games, NFT trait assignment, or any selection that must be provably unbiased. It is not suitable for high-volume free randomness needs given the $0.05/call cost.
Side effects
- drand network unreachable or slow — relay may time out or return stale round
- BLS verification failure client-side if signature data is malformed
- Invalid 'expect' enum value causes request rejection
- Payment not provided or insufficient (requires $0.05 USDC via x402) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Missing required 'url' field in POST body causes 400 error
