# Function random

Module: `noir_aztec::oracle::random`

```rust
pub unconstrained fn random() -> Field
```

Returns an unconstrained random value. Note that it is not possible to constrain this value to prove that it is truly random: we assume that the oracle is cooperating and returning random values. In some applications this behavior might not be acceptable and other techniques might be more suitable, such as producing pseudo-random values by hashing values outside of user control (like block hashes) or secrets.
