🏆 Why Re4ctoR VRF is Faster

Traditional VRF (Chainlink) Re4ctoR VRF

1. Submit on-chain request
   ⏱️ 12-15 seconds (block time)

2. Oracle detects request
   ⏱️ 3-5 seconds (polling)

3. Generate VRF proof
   ⏱️ 2-5 seconds (compute)

4. Submit on-chain
   ⏱️ 12-15 seconds (block time)

5. Callback execution
   ⏱️ 12-15 seconds (block time)

Total: 30-120 seconds

1. HTTP request to gateway
   ⏱️ 1-2ms (network)

2. VRF node generates proof
   ⏱️ 8-12ms (compute)

3. ECDSA signing
   ⏱️ 2-4ms (crypto)

4. JSON response
   ⏱️ 1-2ms (serialization)


Total: 12-20ms (median: 14ms)

Key Advantages:

⚡ No blockchain delays — direct API access
🔧 Optimized crypto stack — native Rust implementation
🚀 No polling overhead — synchronous response
💰 No gas fees — off-chain computation

cp .env.example .env

Key variables:

Variable	Description	Example
`DOMAIN`	Public hostname for HTTPS	`api.re4ctor.com`
`CADDY_EMAIL`	Let's Encrypt email	`[email protected]`
`R4_API_KEY`	API authentication key	`your-secret-key-here`

⚠️ Security: Never commit .env to version control!

🛡️ Security Best Practices

VPS Hardening

# 1. SSH key-only authentication
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# Set: PasswordAuthentication no

# 2. Firewall configuration
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp   # SSH
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp   # HTTP
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp  # HTTPS
sudo ufw enable

# 3. Fail2ban for SSH protection
sudo apt install fail2ban

Docker Security

# Run containers as non-root user
# (Already configured in docker-compose.yml)

# Regular updates
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

# Monitor logs
docker compose logs -f

API Key Rotation

# 1. Generate new key
openssl rand -hex 32

# 2. Update .env
nano .env  # Set new R4_API_KEY

# 3. Restart services
docker compose restart

Run Your Own Benchmarks

Want to verify the latency claims? Run these benchmarks yourself:

Quick Test (10 requests)

for i in {1..10}; do
  time curl -s -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
    "https://api.re4ctor.com/v1/vrf?sig=ecdsa" > /dev/null
done

Detailed Analysis (100 requests)

# Save to benchmark.sh
cat > benchmark.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
echo "Running 100 VRF requests..."
for i in {1..100}; do
  START=$(date +%s%N)
  curl -s -H "X-API-Key: your-key" \
    "https://api.re4ctor.com/v1/vrf" > /dev/null
  END=$(date +%s%N)
  DIFF=$(( (END - START) / 1000000 ))
  echo "$DIFF"
done | tee latency.txt

echo ""
echo "Statistics:"
sort -n latency.txt | awk '
  BEGIN { sum=0; count=0; }
  { 
    values[count++] = $1; 
    sum += $1; 
  }
  END {
    print "Min:    " values[0] " ms"
    print "Median: " values[int(count/2)] " ms"
    print "Avg:    " sum/count " ms"
    print "p95:    " values[int(count*0.95)] " ms"
    print "p99:    " values[int(count*0.99)] " ms"
    print "Max:    " values[count-1] " ms"
  }
'
EOF

chmod +x benchmark.sh
./benchmark.sh

Expected Output

Running 100 VRF requests...
Statistics:
Min:    12 ms
Median: 14 ms
Avg:    16 ms
p95:    23 ms
p99:    29 ms
Max:    30 ms
