Nothing to verify yet
This cycle is still open. The seed hash and the drand round number below went up when it opened, before the first entry was accepted; the seed stays secret until the draw, and that round's random value does not exist yet. Copy both values somewhere we cannot reach, now — that is what lets you prove afterwards that neither one moved.

Fetch it yourself
drand publishes a fresh random value every 30 seconds on a fixed schedule, run by the League of Entropy. This is the one number in the draw that we cannot produce, predict or substitute: fetch the round yourself and compare. That the round number went up when the cycle opened is our record of events — this page cannot prove that part to you. What you still have to trust us for says exactly what that does and does not leave open, and how to close it.

Freeze vs. randomness — check the ordering yourself

The ordering cannot be checked for this cycle: it has not been frozen yet, so there is no freeze timestamp to compare. Nothing here should be read as proof that the entry list was committed before the randomness existed.
Entry list hash recorded at the draw
— not published yet —
The list is re-hashed when the draw runs and must still equal the frozen hash above. If it did not, the draw refuses to run rather than quietly overwriting the commitment.

The frozen entry list
Entries are materialised when the cycle closes, so there is no list to publish yet. Nobody's ticket count — including ours — is fixed before then.
