This groundbreaking initiative is spearheaded by the publicly listed company DFNN, in collaboration with technology firm M42 and the U.S.-based blockchain company Constellation Network.

DFNN has officially signed a collaborative agreement with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), acting as a "Secondary Licensee" to lead this comprehensive system upgrade. The consortium aims to leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance the transparency, security, and modernization of the national lottery infrastructure.

Why the Philippines?

The selection of the Philippines as the global pioneer for this technology is strategic. Lottery operations currently account for over 40% of the country's total gaming revenue. Furthermore, with approximately 13% of the population actively using cryptocurrencies—one of the highest adoption rates worldwide—the Philippines presents an ideal environment for integrating blockchain into public systems.

System Features and Operations

The new system introduces several key innovations:

• Cryptocurrency Integration: Citizens will be able to purchase lottery tickets directly using cryptocurrencies such as USDT and Bitcoin.
• Blockchain Transparency: Utilizing Constellation Network’s technology and DAG tokens for data validation, the system will record all draw processes, fund flows, and prize distributions on the blockchain. This immutable ledger significantly minimizes the potential for human intervention and fraud.
• AI Enhancement: Artificial Intelligence will be deployed for real-time risk control and computational processing, ensuring a faster and more stable draw process.

Future Outlook

This initiative marks a significant step toward a future where lottery participation is fully digital. The roadmap envisions a system where users can participate via mobile devices and crypto wallets, with AI and blockchain guaranteeing fairness. DFNN anticipates that this efficiency will boost lottery sales, thereby increasing revenue streams for national charity and public welfare funds.
