7. CONCLUSION

This paper explained how to build a fair, verifiable, efficient random raffle on the Sui Network. We investigate a range of smart contract design methodologies for constructing chance-based games through smart contracts, identify their inherent constraints, and propose remedies. Furthermore, we furnish insights drawing from the advantages and limitations of different design choices. Through these insights, we provide valuable guidance to researchers and developers engaged in randomness games using smart contracts.
