The Philippine government launched a blockchain-based document validation system on Polygon, despite the network suffering an 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 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.
