Randomness is very difficult to generate on blockchains. The reason for this is because every node must come to the same conclusion, forming a consensus. There’s no way to generate random numbers natively in smart contracts, which is unfortunate because they can be very useful for a wide range of applications. Fortunately, Chainlink provides Chainlink VRF, AKA Chainlink Verifiable Random Function.
