Aptos Improvement Proposal AIP41 introduces APIs that allow contracts to instantly generate random integers without the need to wait for the next block or commit ahead of time. This is achieved by ensuring that every Aptos block has a randomness seed from which individual randomness for contract calls can be derived.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Nico chat with Alin Tomescu, founding team member and Head of Cryptography at Aptos Labs. They discuss Alin’s journey to Aptos and his work on distributed on-chain randomness as well as the new Aptos Keyless project. They cover the Keyless accounts architecture, how the flow works for the user and some of the subtleties in the approach they have taken.
