TypeScript Bandersnatch VRF Suite

[mikirov]

Project Abstract

TypeScript Bandersnatch VRF Suite is a comprehensive cryptographic implementation that provides enterprise-grade Verifiable Random Functions (VRFs) for the JAM protocol ecosystem. While the reference implementation exists exclusively in Rust, this project delivers a complete TypeScript alternative that eliminates language barriers and enables seamless integration with web applications, browser-based wallets, and Node.js environments. The implementation includes full IETF VRF, Pedersen VRF, and Ring VRF schemes built on the Bandersnatch curve, while maintaining strict compliance with Web3 Foundation specifications and RFC standards.
