In 2024, the drand project is stewarded by the team at [Randamu](https://randa.mu/), and has deployed 3 | ||
different mainnet networks: | ||
- the `default` chained one, launched in 2020 with a frequency of 30s and signatures on G2, | ||
and beacons linked to the previous ones, not compatible with Timelock encryption; | ||
- the `quicknet` unchained network, launched in 2023 with a period of only 3 seconds and | ||
with signatures on G1. This one is fully compatible with Timelock encryption; | ||
- the `evmnet` unchained network, launched in 2024, with a period of 3 seconds and signatures on G1, | ||
but using the BN254 curve instead of the BLS12-381, in order to | ||
be compatible with the EVM pre-compiles meant for BN254 only. This network allows | ||
to verify the randomness on EVM-compatible chains directly on-chain. | ||
