Feed Protocol

Feed Protocol was built to solve the core challenge of generating unpredictable, auditable randomness on the blockchain without sacrificing cost or speed. Traditional RNG providers often depend on delayed callbacks or high fees, making them impractical for real-time games or rapid smart contract executions. In contrast, Feed Protocol allows developers to retrieve randomness and use it in the same transaction—eliminating complexity and latency.

The underlying engine—FPRNG (Feed Protocol Random Number Generator)—operates by ingesting data from Pyth Network, timestamps, slot numbers, and account metadata to derive randomness within one Solana block. The randomness process avoids common pitfalls like blockhash predictability by using multi-source entropy models, providing a robust randomness layer that supports real-time interactivity in decentralized games and lotteries.

Beyond RNG, Feed Protocol expands its infrastructure to support a full gaming and governance ecosystem. Solutions include Feed eSports (on-chain gaming tournaments), Feed DAO (decentralized voting), Feed Market (fractional asset ownership), Feed Connect (asset interoperability across games), and Feed Stream (automated royalty distribution). For developers, SDKs in Unity, JavaScript, Rust, and .NET make blockchain integration simple and effective.

Competitors like Chainlink and Switchboard dominate the Web3 randomness space but often lack the affordability and single-transaction performance of Feed Protocol. By offering speed, simplicity, and security in a cost-efficient model, Feed Protocol has positioned itself as the leading RNG infrastructure for Solana-based apps.

Feed Protocol provides a rich set of features and benefits that make it the most practical on-chain randomness solution for Solana:

• One-Block Latency: Generate random numbers within a single Solana block—ideal for real-time interactions in games or lotteries.
• Extremely Cost-Efficient: At just 0.00025 $SOL per request, it is 10x cheaper than Switchboard and 200x cheaper than Chainlink.
• Secure Multi-Source Entropy: Uses Pyth Network price data and time-based entropy without exposing manipulation risks.
• Single-Transaction Integration: Use the random number in the same transaction that triggers it—no need for callbacks or additional storage.
• Ready-Made Use Cases: Built-in support for raffles, gaming tournaments, royalty splits, and on-chain governance.
• Demo & Testing Tools: Try out Feed RNG in a live Rock-Paper-Scissors demo to understand real-world integration.
• Off-Chain SDKs: Use Unity, Node.js, Java, and other libraries to integrate randomness with your existing Web2 or hybrid game architectures.
• Signer Management: Distribute credits across PDAs for team use or modular dApp development.

Feed Protocol provides a smooth onboarding process that helps developers and businesses start using on-chain RNG immediately:

• Access the Console: Go to the Feed Protocol homepage and click "Console" to launch the app dashboard.
• Connect Your Wallet: Choose and confirm your Solana wallet to link your address with the Feed console.
• Monitor Dashboard: Track your $SOL balance, used credits, and remaining credit capacity. Credits can be topped up instantly.
• Buy Credits: Choose between pay-as-you-go (0.00005 $SOL/request) or purchase packages for bulk pricing. Payments are made directly from your wallet.
• Assign Signers: Use the Signer Management tool to allocate credits across sub-accounts (PDAs) for multi-user project control.
• Try Demo Tools: Test Feed RNG via the built-in Rock-Paper-Scissors game and access all stats post-session.
• Create a Raffle: Use the Feed Raffle dashboard to upload entries, publish winners, and validate transparency through Solana Explorer.
• Explore the Blockchain: After publishing results, all winner data and transaction hashes are viewable and shareable for full transparency.
