Summary

  • Renames docs/concepts/onchain-randomness.mddocs/concepts/verifiable-randomness.md
  • Updates title: frontmatter in both the concept page and the guide (docs/guides/backends/randomness.md) to "Verifiable Randomness"
  • Renames the guide section heading from "Why onchain randomness is different" to "Why verifiable randomness matters"
  • Updates all cross-references and link texts in:
    • docs/concepts/chain-key-cryptography.md (bullet label + prose mention)
    • docs/concepts/index.md (index entry)
    • docs/guides/backends/randomness.md (two next-steps links)
    • docs/languages/rust/index.md (Wasm limitations table cell)

"Verifiable randomness" names the actual VRF property (unpredictability + verifiability) rather than a location ("onchain"), making the term more precise and consistent with how the feature is described elsewhere.

Note: Motoko synced file

docs/languages/motoko/icp-features/randomness.md still uses the old term. This file is auto-synced from caffeinelabs/motoko and cannot be edited directly — the fix must go upstream.

Sync recommendation

hand-written

Renames the concept page (onchain-randomness.md → verifiable-randomness.md),
updates both page titles, the guide section heading, and all cross-references
in chain-key-cryptography.md, concepts/index.md, and languages/rust/index.md.

Note: docs/languages/motoko/icp-features/randomness.md still uses the old
term — it is auto-synced from caffeinelabs/motoko and must be fixed upstream.
