ARPA Network is proud to announce a strategic partnership with zkLink through zkLink Nova, the industry’s first aggregated Layer 3 zkEVM Rollup network. Built on top of Ethereum and Ethereum Layer 2s, zkLink Nova introduces a unified, scalable, and EVM-compatible Layer 3 infrastructure for seamless smart contract deployment and asset interoperability. As part of this collaboration, ARPA will integrate Randcast, its decentralized and verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), into the zkLink Nova ecosystem to provide fair, transparent, and tamper-proof randomness for developers and applications building on Nova.
Empowering Layer 3 DApps With ARPA Randcast’s Verifiable Randomness
zkLink Nova addresses one of the biggest challenges in the Ethereum ecosystem: fragmented liquidity and isolated assets across Layer 2s. By aggregating assets, Nova simplifies development for DApp creators and opens the door to a new class of multi-rollup applications.
Through the integration of Randcast, ARPA Network brings its proven cryptographic infrastructure to zkLink Nova, providing a decentralized and verifiable random number generator powered by threshold BLS signatures. This gives developers access to randomness that is verifiable on-chain, resistant to tampering, and optimized for real-time smart contract usage.
With this integration, developers building on zkLink Nova can leverage Randcast to power use cases such as:
Fair and secure GameFi mechanics (random drops, winner selection, loot boxes)
NFT minting and metadata randomization
Transparent lottery, raffle, and airdrop mechanisms
Randomized AI outputs and generative content applications
ARPA Randcast Advancing The Layer 3 Ecosystem
Both zkLink and ARPA Network are committed to advancing the modular, scalable, and decentralized future of Ethereum. While zkLink Nova pioneers aggregated interoperability at the Layer 3 level, ARPA ensures that essential building blocks like randomness can be delivered securely and verifiably, without relying on centralized oracles or opaque systems.
By offering ultra-low gas costs, Ethereum-grade security, and fast finality, zkLink Nova provides the ideal environment for scalable DApp innovation. Meanwhile, ARPA Randcast enhances that environment by removing one of the biggest pain points in smart contract development: access to unbiased, verifiable randomness.
As this partnership unfolds, developers and users alike can expect a richer and more secure application experience, built on top of zkLink Nova’s innovative zkEVM stack and backed by ARPA’s decentralized computation network.
Stay tuned for upcoming integration milestones and technical rollouts as zkLink Nova and ARPA Network work together to accelerate the future of interoperable, secure, and intelligent Layer 3 DApps.
About zkLink

At our core, zkLink Labs develops leading aggregated rollup infrastructure, unifying liquidity across chains while delivering security and scalability through zk-Proofs. With purpose-built solutions like zkLink X and zkLink Nova, we offer an open platform that simplifies DeFi, presenting a unified ecosystem for a seamless blockchain experience, now enhanced by AI agents designed to operate, transact, and interact across this network.
About ARPA
ARPA Network (ARPA) is a decentralized, secure computation network built to improve the fairness, security, and privacy of blockchains. The ARPA threshold BLS signature network serves as the infrastructure for a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), secure wallet, cross-chain bridge, and decentralized custody across multiple blockchains.
ARPA was previously known as ARPA Chain, a privacy-preserving Multi-party Computation (MPC) network founded in 2018. ARPA Mainnet has completed over 224,000 computation tasks in the past years. Our experience in MPC and other cryptography laid the foundation for our innovative threshold BLS signature schemes (TSS-BLS) system design and led us to today’s ARPA Network.
Randcast, a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), is the first application that leverages ARPA as infrastructure. Randcast offers a cryptographically generated random source with superior security and low cost compared to other solutions. Metaverse, game, lottery, NFT minting and whitelisting, key generation, and blockchain validator task distribution can benefit from Randcast’s tamper-proof randomness.
