Philippines to secure government documents on Polygon despite network hiccup
The Philippine government launched a blockchain-based document validation system on Polygon, despite the network suffering a partial outage on the same day.
The government of the Philippines announced that it will notarize its documents on the Polygon blockchain — on the same day that the network’s Heimdall v2 mainnet suffered a temporary outage.
Maria Francesca Montes Del Rosario, undersecretary at the Philippine Department of Budget and Management, announced in a Wednesday Facebook post that the government’s blockchain transparency was live.
According to a Thursday report by local crypto news outlet BitPinas, Del Rosario said at the launch event that blockchain addresses the issue presented by artificial intelligence-generated deepfakes and prevents bad actors from falsifying government documents.
