KZG Ceremony Special Contributions cryptoforbs
KZG Ceremony Special Contributions cryptoforbs
The Special Contribution Period for the KZG Ceremony ran 01-16 April 2023. This allowed participants to contribute in ways that may not have been possible in the Open Contribution period. While the Ceremony only needs a single honest participant to provide a secure output, Special Contributions provide additional assurances beyond a standard entropy contribution:

  • computing over the entropy in an isolated environment (eg. on an airgapped machine, wiping and physically destroying hardware) means that it’s unlikely for a malicious entity to have extracted the entropy at any point.
  • detailed documentation (explore links below) attached to real reputations are unlikely to all have been coopted or faked by a malicious coordinating entity. The records are available for future observers to explore.
  • different hardware and software limits correlated risk
  • differentiated entropy generation (eg. measuring an explosion) prevents the Ceremony output being compromised by some failure in the regular entropy generation (eg. the hosted interface)
  • contributions involving large groups of people are harder to fake than those with only one person. This allowed participants to contribute in ways that may not have been possible in the Open Contribution period. For example, needing more time than the typical slot or a unique method of generating entropy that included a larger group.

This post is a public record of the Special Contributions with information on methodology, where to find them in the transcript, and links to documenting media.

01 – Cryptosat

The Cryptosat team kicked off the Special Contribution period with a contribution from space aboard their Crypto 2 satellite. Read about what they did and how on

their blog.

02 – The KZG Marble Machine

The KZG Marble Machine is an artwork\contraption with different sections of track showing off different phases of Ethereum’s history. The machine uses 23 sensors to measure small fluctuations in each marble’s run as well as various environmental factors to ensure the randomness is unbiased. Read xofee.eth‘s writeup here or even 3D print your own machine.

03 – Mr. Moloch’s Ephemeral Album II

smartcontracts.eth brought 40 members of the New York Ethereum community together to make an album together over the course of a day. The result was an ephemeral album: attendees got to listen to the music while it was recorded by 4 air-gapped laptops running USB-hosted Tails using their onboard microphones.

04 – Dog Dinner Dance Dynamics

@saint-rat fed their dog, Charlie, biscuits which they had scatted over the floor. They then used a python script and computer vision to track the location of Charlie and the biscuits as he ate them. This information was folded into the entropy contribution before destroying the SD card and flash-drive used by the Raspberry Pi for the contribution. Read the details here.

05 – CZG-Keremony – a pure JS KZG ceremony client

CZG-Keremony is a KZG ceremony client written entirely in JavaScript by the DSRV Labs team. Under the hood, it uses @paulmillr’s [https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-curves](noble-curves BLS implementation), so this is an end-to-end contribution done in pure JS. rootwarp.eth and @kim201212 performed an airgapped contribution on a RaspberryPi 2 before destroying the SD card.

06 – Improvised Theatre

Members of the Student Theatre Association in Eindhoven, Doppio, recorded an imporv theater performance as a source of entropy for the ceremony. The performance comprised of both acting and singing using the structure of a soap-opera and a “revolving door” to guide the performance. Read more about what they did on their blog post.

07 – A Calculating Car

Stephen Solis drove around in a car equipped with a Comma 3 self-driving module. He then recorded the data from the car’s ODB port to an NVMe drive which was destroyed after using the data as an entropy source.

10 – The Sferic Project

Digital artist, Matt DesLauriers sampled the Very Low Frequency radio (300 Hz and 13 kHz) radio spectrum on southern coast of the United Kingdom to capture lightning strikes and other atmospheric noise collectively known as sferics. This data was then fed into the ceremony as a source of randomness.

12 – KZGamer – summoning Dankshard with a dice-tower

Justin Florentine built a dice tower that could both collect entropy for the ceremony and help determine the outcomes of his table-top games. The dice tower was a sealed box which rolled the dice before collecting them in a sealed chamber in which they were photographed by a Raspberry Pi (and camera). Then computer vision was used to read the dice which were used to determine the success/failure/damage of a given roll while adding the dice values to an internal entropy accumulator. A trapdoor then opened to return the dice to the player. By the end of the game, 1024 bits of entropy had been collected and the SD card used in the Pi was burned until destruction.

13 – Catropy

Proof of Cat or Catropy is a project to collect entropy from cats playing with a ball. This was done by embedding a custom PCB with an ESP-32 microcontroller and an MPU-6500 6-axis IMU into a knitted ball and handing it to cat (or human). The ESP-32 would then collect data from the accelerometers and gyroscopes, hash it into an entropy accumulator and serve that entropy over WiFi to the server performing the PoT calculations. Visit proofof.cat for details on the multiple contributions, hardware, software, a video of the contribution, and how this project went further to support cat shelters.
