Pyth announces its participation in the LightLinkChain hackathon for the second time, after a successful first edition where developers created projects using Pyth's Entropy RNG.​ This time, Pyth is excited to see what new projects will be shipped.​ Entropy, Pyth's on-chain random number generator, is now integrated with LightLinkChain's testnet, and developers are encouraged to explore its capabilities, particularly with LightLink's Enterprise Mode for gasless transactions.​
