简介
在计算机处理计算时,由于计算机的确定性,随机性是一个重要但难以处理的问题。说到区块链,情况更是如此,因为计算机不仅是确定性的,而且是透明的。因此,由于随机性将在链上计算,而链是所有矿工和用户的公共信息,因此无法生成可靠的本机随机数。
所以我们可以使用一些web2技术来生成随机性,然后在链上使用它们。
什么是oracle(预言机)?
-
预言机是将数据从外部世界发送到区块链的智能合约,反之亦然。
-
然后,智能合约可以使用这些数据做出决定并改变其状态。
-
它们作为区块链和外部世界之间的桥梁。
-
然而,需要注意的是,区块链预言机本身不是数据源,它的工作是查询、验证和认证外部数据,然后再将其传递给智能合约。
今天我们将学习其中一个名为Chainlink VRF的预言机。
开始吧🚀
介绍
-
Chainlink VRF 用来产生随机值的预言机。
-
这些数值是用加密证明来验证的。
-
这些证明验证了结果没有被预言机操作员、用户、矿工等篡改或操纵。
-
证明是在链上公布的,因此可以被验证。
-
在验证成功后,它们会被要求随机性的智能合约所使用。
官方的Chainlink文档将VRF描述为。
Chainlink VRF(可验证的随机函数)是一个为智能合约设计的可证明的公平和可验证的随机性来源。智能合约开发者可以使用Chainlink VRF作为防篡改的随机数发生器(RNG),为任何依赖不可预测结果的应用构建可靠的智能合约。
它是如何工作的?
-
Chainlink有两个合约,我们主要关注的是VRFConsumerBase.sol和VRFCoordinator。
-
VRFConsumerBase是将调用VRF协调员的合同,它最终负责发布随机性。
-
我们将继承VRFConsumerBase,并将使用其中的两个函数。
- requestRandomness,它对随机性提出初始请求。
- fulfillRandomness,这是一个接收并对经过验证的随机性做一些事情的函数。
-
如果你看一下图,你就可以理解这个流程,RandomGameWinner合约将继承VRFConsumerBase合约,并将在VRFConsumerBase中调用requestRandomness函数。
-
在调用该函数时,对随机性的请求开始了,VRFConsumerBase进一步调用VRFCoordinator合约,该合约负责从外部世界获取随机性。
-
在VRFCoordinator获得随机性后,它调用VRFConsumerBase中的fullFillRandomness函数,然后进一步选择赢家。
-
注意重要的部分是,尽管你调用了 requestRandomness 函数,但你在 fullFillRandomness 函数中获得了随机性。
先决条件
要求
- 我们今天将开发一个彩 票游戏
- 每场比赛将有一个最大的玩家人数和参赛费
- 在最大数量的玩家进入游戏后,将随机选择一名获胜者。
- 赢家将获得
maxplayers*entryfee
数额的ether ,以赢得游戏。
构建
-
最初开始时,在你的电脑中创建一个名为RandomWinnerGame
的文件夹
-
为了构建智能合约,我们将使用Hardhat。Hardhat是一个Ethereum开发环境和框架,为Solidity的全栈开发而设计。简单地说,你可以编写你的智能合约,部署它们,运行测试,并调试你的代码。
-
要设置一个Hardhat项目,打开终端并在RandomWinnerGame
文件夹内执行这些命令
1

|
mkdir hardhat-tutorial
cd hardhat-tutorial
npm init --yes
npm install --save-dev hardhat
|
- 选择
Create a Javascript project
- 在
Hardhat Project root
下按下回车
- 如果你想添加一个
.gitignore
,请按回车键询问。
Do you want to install this sample project's dependencies with npm (@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox)?
按下回车
现在你有一个准备好的hardhat项目了!
如果你不是在mac上,请做这个额外的步骤,也安装这些库 :)
1
|
npm install --save-dev @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox
|
并对所有问题按回车键。
- 在同一个终端中,现在安装
@openzeppelin/contracts
,因为我们要导入Openzeppelin的合同。
1
|
npm install @openzeppelin/contracts
|
- 我们还将验证我们的合同,所以让我们安装hardhat etherscan库
1
|
npm install --save-dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan
|
- 最后,我们将安装chainlink 合约,以使用chainlink VRF
1
|
npm install --save @chainlink/contracts
|
- 现在在
contracts
目录内创建一个新文件,名为RandomWinnerGame.sol
,并粘贴以下几行代码。

-
这个函数从VRFConsumerBase
继承而来。它由VRFCoordinator
合约在接收到外部世界的随机性后调用。
-
在接收到随机性(可以是uint256范围内的任何数字)后,我们使用mod 操作符从范围从0 to players.length-1
取值
-
这就为我们选择了一个索引,我们用这个索引从玩家数组中检索出赢家。
-
它将合约中所有的ether 发送给赢家,并发出一个GameEnded
事件。
-
现在我们要安装dotenv
包,以便能够导入env文件并在我们的配置中使用它。打开一个终端,指向hardhat-tutorial
目录,执行以下命令
- 现在在
hardhat-tutorial
文件夹下创建一个.env
文件,并添加以下几行,使用注释中的说明来获得你的ALCHEMY_API_KEY_URL
、MUMBAI_PRIVATE_KEY
和POLYGONSCAN_KEY.
如果你的MetaMask上没有mumbai ,你可以按照这个来把它添加到你的MetaMask上,确保你获得mumbai 私钥的账户有mumbai Matic资金,你可以从这里得到一些。

- 编译合同,打开终端,指向

目录,执行以下命令
- 要进行部署,请打开终端,指向hardhat-tutorial目录,并执行以下命令

|
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network mumbai
|
- 然后在startGame函数中输入一些数值,并点击Write按钮
-
现在你可以用你的地址加入游戏了。注意:我在这里输入的数值是10WEI,因为这是我指定的报名费的数值,但是因为加入游戏接受ether 而不是WEI,我必须将10WEI转换成ether 。你也可以用eth转换器将你的参赛费转换成ether
-
现在刷新页面,并连接一个新的钱包,其中有一些matic,这样你就可以让另一个玩家加入。 注:我将最大玩家数设置为2,这样在我让另一个地址加入游戏后,它将选择赢家。
-
如果你现在进入你的事件选项卡并不断刷新(VRFCoordinator
调用fullFillRandomness
函数需要一些时间,因为它必须从外部世界获得数据),在某一时刻你将能够看到一个事件,上面写着GameEnded
-
从下拉菜单中为GameEnded
事件中的第一个值转换Hex为地址,因为那是赢家的地址。
它完成了 🚀
你现在知道如何玩这个游戏了。在下一个教程中,我们将为此创建一个用户界面,并将学习如何使用代码本身来跟踪这些事件。
准备开始吧🚀🚀
