Presenter:
Demo: Drand Cryptography and Storage Optimizations

The mission of drand (https://drand.love/) is to provide verifiable, unpredictable and bias resistant random values as a service. The drand network is operated by the League of Entropy (LoE), a group of 14 independent member organizations that contribute to the production of randomness beacons.

We use these sessions for:
-Sharing progress made. These can be done in the format of a live demo, showcase of anything shipped (e.g. papers, architecture docs, etc) and any other kind of achievement that feels worth sharing with the group.
-Cross pollination opportunities made. Where folks get to learn about what others are doing and ask question on how they did it
-A way to keep project pace. Demo Days can be used as goalpost for delivering all the sprints results on time
