QBEACON publishes a public randomness beacon: a signed, hash-chained 4,096-bit value every ~2.5 minutes. Its certified-draw API picks winners from a future pulse, so nobody, not even us, can choose the outcome, and every draw gets a signed certificate and public verification page.

Could you build this?
No Producing a true verifiable quantum randomness beacon requires dedicated quantum random number generator (QRNG) hardware, cryptographic time-locking, and high-assurance distributed key infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Building a verifiable quantum randomness beacon requires physical QRNG hardware (such as optical phase fluctuation or photon arrival time sensors) integrated into a secure hardware security module (HSM). The architecture requires a cryptographically signed verifiable delay function (VDF) or threshold hash-chaining engine (similar to drand/League of Entropy), distributed across independent nodes to guarantee tamper-proof randomness, requiring deep expertise in applied cryptography and hardware engineering.
