# Randomness Module The Randomness Collective Flip module provides a [`random`](https://docs.rs/pallet-randomness-collective-flip/latest/pallet_randomness_collective_flip/struct.Module.html#method.random) function that generates low-influence random values based on the block hashes from the previous `81` blocks. Low-influence randomness can be useful when defending against relatively weak adversaries. Using this pallet as a randomness source is advisable primarily in low-security situations like testing. ## Public Functions See the [`Module`](https://docs.rs/pallet-randomness-collective-flip/latest/pallet_randomness_collective_flip/struct.Module.html) struct for details of publicly available functions. ## Usage ### Prerequisites Import the Randomness Collective Flip module and derive your module's configuration trait from the system trait. ### Example - Get random seed for the current block ```rust use frame_support::{decl_module, dispatch, traits::Randomness}; pub trait Trait: frame_system::Trait {} decl_module! { pub struct Module for enum Call where origin: T::Origin { #[weight = 0] pub fn random_module_example(origin) -> dispatch::DispatchResult { let _random_value = >::random(&b"my context"[..]); Ok(()) } } } ``` License: Apache-2.0
