Two-Tiered Solution

Fairness is a fundamental requirement in blockchain gaming, and addressing the issue of decentralized randomness is crucial. In many smart contracts, miners can influence randomness by choosing when to mine or skip blocks, which poses challenges, especially in high-value transactions where the stakes are greater than the block reward.

At Cryptopia, we've devised a two-tiered solution to tackle this problem effectively:

For Low-Stake Transactions

For transactions with lower stakes, we acknowledging that miners may have some advantage due to the lower risks involved compared to the block reward.

For High-Stake Transactions

In cases where high-value transactions are at play, we implement a decentralized randomness system that relies on user input. Players who stake $TOS tokens are incentivized with a portion of the transaction value. This approach significantly enhances the level of randomness, making the system more robust and equitable.

Our strategy strikes a balance between speed, fairness, and security. We only invoke the more complex decentralized solution when the stakes are genuinely high. This innovation not only showcases the utility of TOS tokens but also addresses a critical concern in blockchain gaming, ensuring a more level playing field for all participants.
