Field notes
After the APEX units seal their daily files, the page combines their fingerprints with a later drand value; its instructions let visitors reconstruct the result from public records and a signed round. The recipe is identified as APEX-BEACON-V1, and each night receives a permanent date-based page. A separate dice feature publishes a new pair every 80 seconds, with its own recipe and permanent roll addresses. The site says the files are CC0 and cautions that the beacon is for everyday choices, not stakes.
