Episode 74: Blockchain 101: Randomness and Random Beacons with Justin Drake - a podcast by Fredrik Harrysson, Anna Rose

In this week's episode, we sit down with Justin Drake (https://twitter.com/drakefjustin), researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, to discuss randomness in blockchain, how it can be created and what adversarial models exist. We also discuss the random beacon and how that concept has evolved in the development of ETH2.0
Our initial definition of randomness in cryptography comes largely from this article by cloudflare: https://blog.cloudflare.com/randomness-101-lavarand-in-production/Check out Justin Drake's DevCon 4 talk
