RANDAO Revenue Model - Credit
One of the earliest ways we validated demand at RANDAO was straightforward:
DApps pay each time they request verifiable randomness.
It’s similar to cloud pricing:
- Clear usage
- Easy billing
- Immediate value
This model works especially well for:
- GameFi mechanics
- NFT minting events
But like most early infrastructure models, it has tradeoffs:
- Usage can be spiky
- Stickiness depends on integration depth
- Pricing pressure exists as alternatives emerge
That’s okay.
Early models aren’t about perfection.
They’re about learning where value truly concentrates.
The Bigger Picture: Randomness as Infrastructure
The long-term opportunity isn’t just selling randomness calls.
It’s making randomness native to blockchains the same way:
- Compute
- Storage
- And consensus are native today
When randomness becomes infrastructure-level:
- Builders stop reinventing fragile solutions
- Security improves by default
- Entire new design spaces open up
That’s the direction we’re building toward.
