How is Candleflip fair?

Information about how Candleflip is provably fair

Candleflip uses a provably fair system to ensure game results cannot be manipulated.


Each candleflip game outcome is determined by a cryptographic seed that is committed before the game starts, ensuring fair and random results that you can independently verify.


How Candleflip Provably Fair Works

  • Before each candleflip game, the server generates a random seed.

  • The server calculates a hash of this seed and publishes it when the game starts.

The candleflip outcome (green or red winner) is determined by this seed.

After the game ends, the server reveals the original seed.

You can verify the game was fair by confirming that:

  • The hash of the revealed seed matches the pre-published hash.

  • Running the verification algorithm with the seed produces the same winner.
