Cypherpunk Cosmic Randomness: cTRNG Beta Now Live
Just a few months ago, CoinTelegraph reported that SpaceComputer—formerly known as SpaceCoin—partnered with space infrastructure provider Aptos Digital to launch three satellites for initial testing. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the first product to emerge from SpaceComputer satellite infrastructure: cTRNG, now available in public beta.
Space-Sourced Data for Earth-Based Cryptography
SpaceComputer is building cypherpunk crypto systems for the space frontier and was founded on the idea that earth-based trust can be rooted in orbit through a distributed decentralized data center and compute layer hosted on satellites. The Cosmic True Random Number Generator (cTRNG) is the first of these systems, leveraging cosmic flare entropy, processed through SpaceComputer’s Orbitport platform, to deliver randomness to cryptographic protocols.
Random Number Generation (RNG) plays a crucial role in cryptography and blockchain by producing secure keys, nonces, and unpredictable values that underpin encryption, digital signatures, and consensus mechanisms. For example, every time a new wallet is created, RNG is used to generate its private keys. At the protocol level, RNG ensures fairness in processes like reward distribution, while at the application (dApp) level, it is widely used for fair lottery systems, gaming outcomes, and NFT trait generation.
Why Choose cTRNG?
– Get True Random Numbers from Space Radiation and Beyond
– 24/7 Worldwide Availability via Blend of Space and Earth Infrastructure and Orbitport
– Data Pipeline for Web3 and Web2 Applications
– …And… the Wow Factor of Randomness from Space!
Our initial go-to-market strategy for the cTRNG product will involve these blockchain protocols and dApps, and testing has already begun with several.
Public Beta: Build with cTRNG today!
With today’s announcement, we’re inviting community developers to start integrating cTRNG into their own projects. To get instant & free access to the API, just fill out this form. We deeply appreciate your help in stress-testing all SpaceComputer products—and as we move toward network launch, early adopters of our technology can expect to be rewarded.
