Chainlink Brings VRF and Functions Live to Soneium Network
The post Chainlink Brings VRF and Functions Live to Soneium Network appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Chainlink has activated its Functions and VRF features on Soneium, enabling developers to access real-world data and verifiable randomness for building complex dApps. Alongside this, previous collaborations include Ripple and BX Swiss adopting its tech for on-chain price data delivery and transparency. Chainlink officially announced that its two new features, Functions and Verifiable Random Function (VRF), are now live on the Soneium network. These features enable Web3 applications to seamlessly integrate real-world data and verified randomness into their smart contracts. Functions and VRF are officially live on @soneium, a next-gen blockchain from @Sony Block Solutions Labs and member of Chainlink Scale. Building on the previous launch of CCIP, Data Streams, and Data Feeds on Soneium, devs now have the toolkit required to built next-gen dApps. https://t.co/IHg9JLC9cd — Chainlink (@chainlink) April 2, 2025 VRF is a solution for verifiable randomness, and this is particularly crucial for blockchain games, lotteries, or NFT drops that have to be equitable. Imagine you take part in a digital lottery and wish to know that the outcomes are really random, not the result of application owner control. Well, VRF guarantees that. On the other hand, Functions provide the ability for smart contracts to connect to external APIs, opening up wider opportunities for data integration. Chainlink Expands Reach, Soneium Gains Power This integration makes Soneium even more confident in competing with other blockchain networks. Chainlink appears to be quite committed to this partnership. Earlier, they had added Data Streams, Data Feeds, and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) features to Soneium. Developers on the network can now create more complicated apps like DeFi, games, and NFT marketplaces by adding VRF and Functions. However, it’s not just Soneium that benefits. Chainlink itself is increasingly expanding the reach of its technology to various blockchain ecosystems. This step seems to indicate that…
