## History - Distributed Random Beacon

Within the Flow protocol, the heart of randomness generation lies in the "distributed random beacon." This module generates randomness that is distributed across the network while adhering to established safety and security standards. The output from the randomness beacon is a sequence of random bytes that are unpredictable and impartial.
Within the Flow protocol, the heart of randomness generation lies in the "distributed random beacon."
This module generates randomness that is distributed across the network while adhering to established cryptographic and security standards.
The output from the randomness beacon is a sequence of random bytes that are unpredictable and impartial.

For over three years, the beacon has ensured protocol security by assigning verification nodes to oversee block computations. For those interested in a more detailed exploration of the randomness beacon and its inner workings, you can read [the technical deep dive on the Flow forum](https://forum.flow.com/t/secure-random-number-generator-for-flow-s-smart-contracts/5110).
