What is Nois
Nois is a special computer program that helps other computer programs make things happen by surprise. These programs use Nois to make games more fun, or to help people make important decisions fairly. Nois uses a secret magical code that nobody knows, so nobody can cheat and guess what will happen next. Nois is like a magic box that helps make things more interesting and fair.
How can I buy Nois
I'm sorry, but Nois is not something that can be bought. It is a decentralized network that provides randomness to other blockchain networks. As a 5 year old, it is unlikely that you would have a need for this type of technology. Instead, you can focus on learning and growing in a healthy and fun way.
🕸️ I am a Web3 user
Why should I care about Nois as an end user?
As an end user, you should care about Nois because it helps to ensure the fairness and unpredictability of the dapps you use. For example, if you use a lottery or gaming dapp that incorporates randomness generated by Nois, you can be confident that the outcomes are truly random and not susceptible to manipulation. This can help to ensure that the dapps you use are fair and trustworthy, providing a better experience for you as a user. Additionally, the use of Nois can help to improve the security of dapps by providing a secure and reliable source of randomness, reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities and attacks.
What are the usecases for decentralised unbiased randomness and how can Nois help with that?
Decentralized unbiased randomness is useful for many different applications, such as:
- Lotteries and other games of chance
- Cryptocurrencies and financial systems
- Voting and decision-making processes
- Cybersecurity and encryption
- Selecting randomly people or processes for fair verification
Nois can help with these use cases by providing a secure and reliable source of decentralized unbiased randomness. This can be used to create fair and transparent lottery systems, to improve the security of financial transactions and voting processes, and to enhance the security of encryption systems. By providing a decentralized and unbiased source of randomness, Nois helps to ensure that these applications are fair and secure.
👩🏻💻 I am a Techie
Why should i care about Nois as a techie?
As a techie, you should care about Nois because it provides a secure and reliable way to incorporate randomness into your dapps. Randomness is often essential for creating fair and unpredictable outcomes in games, lotteries, and other applications. Nois uses the drand protocol to generate randomness and makes it available to dapps via IBC, providing a simple and cost-effective solution for incorporating randomness into your projects. Additionally, Nois provides a toolbox for dapp developers, allowing you to easily integrate Nois into your dapps and transform the randomness you receive in a safe and standardised manner. This can help you to create more engaging and secure dapps for your users.
🤑 I am an Investor
Why should I care about Nois as an investor?
As an investor, you should care about Nois because it is an important component of the growing Cosmos ecosystem. By providing a secure and reliable source of randomness, Nois enables the development of a wide range of decentralized applications (dapps) that can benefit from randomly generated data. This can help to drive adoption and growth in the Cosmos ecosystem, potentially leading to increased value for investors. Additionally, as a decentralized and permissionless network, Nois offers the potential for investors to participate in its governance and potentially earn rewards for supporting the network.
Wen airdrop ser?
An investor walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he's heard of NOIS. The bartender replies, "Yeah, I've heard of it. It's a blockchain project that provides randomness to other chains through IBC." The investor then excitedly asks, "Do they do airdrops?" The bartender laughs and says, "No, I don't think they do airdrops. That's not really their focus. They're more interested in providing secure and unbiased randomness for dapps." The investor pouts and says, "Well, that's no fun. I was hoping to get some free tokens." The bartender shakes his head and says, "Sorry, buddy. You'll have to look elsewhere for your free money... Oh wait you look like a random dude... if you are random enough you might be eligible to get one."
Why does Nois only have 45 active validators? Any plans to increase that?

I know a chain that could use Nois, who can integrate Nois with that chain?
Anyone can do that. Nois is fully permissionless and any IBC enabled blockchain can integrate Nois to it. Formore info follow the docs section Integrate Nois to your Chain
