This sounds like a use case drand / "The League of Entropy" is supposed to
help with, but I've never used it, and can't speak to its quality (although
it certainly seems solid).

https://drand.love

Here's what it outputs:

Latest Randomness
----
Here's the latest random value that was generated, round #3004181:
de9a71d9ece82657fe7e77ce45889466d4a73ca9b7bf95ab8748dd47711fe980
The next randomness is expected in 2 seconds.

Rob
