Direct Funding Method

This guide explains how to generate random numbers using the Direct funding method. This method doesn’t require a subscription and is optimal for one-off requests for randomness. This method also works best for applications where your end-users must pay the fees for VRF because the cost of the request is determined at request time.
VRF Direct funding
Unlike the subscription method, the Direct funding method does not require you to create subscriptions and pre-fund them. Instead, you must directly fund consuming contracts with WKCS tokens before they request randomness.
For KCC VRF v2 to fulfill your requests, you must have a sufficient amount of WKCS in your consuming contract. Gas cost calculation includes the following variables:
Gas price: The current gas price, which fluctuates depending on network conditions.
Callback gas: The amount of gas used for the callback request that returns your requested random values.
Verification gas: The amount of gas used to verify randomness on-chain.
Wrapper overhead gas: The amount of gas used by the VRF Wrapper contract. 
The gas price depends on current network conditions. The callback gas depends on your callback function and the number of random values in your request. You define the limits that you are willing to spend for the request with the following variable:
Callback gas limit: Specifies the maximum amount of gas you are willing to spend on the callback request. Define this limit by specifying the callbackGasLimit value in your request
Explanation
The VRF wrapper calls the coordinator to process the request using the following steps:
1.The consuming contract must inherit VRFV2WrapperConsumerBase and implement the fulfillRandomWords function, which is the callback VRF function. Submit your VRF request by calling the requestRandomness function in the VRFV2WrapperConsumerBase contract. Include the following parameters in your request:
requestConfirmations: The number of block confirmations the VRF service will wait to respond. The minimum and maximum confirmations for your network can be found here.
callbackGasLimit: The maximum amount of gas to pay for completing the callback VRF function.
numWords: The number of random numbers to request. You can find the maximum number of random values per request for your network in the Supported networks page.
2.The consuming contract calls the VRFV2Wrapper calculateRequestPrice function to estimate the total transaction cost to fulfill randomness. If paymentEnabled is true, then the consuming contract calls the WKCSToken transferFrom function to pay the wrapper with the calculated request price.  Finally, VRFV2Wrapper will call VRF Coordinator requestRandomWords function to request randomness. The final gas cost to fulfill randomness is estimated based on how much gas is expected for the verification and callback. The total gas cost in wei uses the following formula:
​
​
(Gas price * (Verification gas + Callback gas limit + Wrapper gas Overhead)) = total gas cost
A WKCS premium is then added to the total gas cost. The premium is divided in two parts:
Wrapper premium: The premium percentage. You can find the percentage for your network in the Supported networks page.
Coordinator premium: A flat fee. This premium is defined in the fulfillmentFlatFeePPM parameter in millionths of WKCS. You can find the flat fee of the coordinator for your network in the Supported networks page.
​
​
((total gas cost * Wrapper premium) + Coordinator premium) = total request cost
3.The VRF coordinator emits an event.
4.The event is picked up by the VRF service and waits for the specified number of block confirmations to respond back to the VRF coordinator with the random values and a proof (requestConfirmations).
5.The VRF coordinator verifies the proof on-chain. Then, it calls back the wrapper contract fulfillRandomWords function.
6.Finally, the VRF Wrapper calls back your consuming contract.
Limits
You can see the configuration for each network on the Supported networks page. 
Each wrapper has a maxNumWords parameter that limits the maximum number of random values you can receive in each request.
NOTE ON MAXIMUM GAS LIMIT
The maximum allowed callbackGasLimit value for your requests is defined in the Coordinator contract supported networks page. Because the VRF v2 Wrapper adds an overhead, your callbackGasLimit must not exceed maxGasLimit - wrapperGasOverhead.
