Tutorial

Understanding `crypto.randomBytes` and `ethers.randomBytes`: A Comparison

Use crypto.randomBytes when:
You are building Node.js applications without blockchain-specific functionality.
You want to avoid adding external dependencies.
Use ethers.randomBytes when:
You are developing Ethereum-related applications and already have ethers.js in your project.
You want the flexibility of generating random bytes with minimal configuration, defaulting to 32 bytes for Ethereum addresses or private keys.
