The Philippine government has introduced a blockchain system on the Polygon network to verify government documents, enhancing public trust amid rising concerns over document forgery.
The Philippine government officially launched a blockchain-based system on the Polygon network for verifying government documents, allowing users to confirm authenticity through cryptographic hashes. This initiative, announced by the Department of Budget and Management, aims to modernize public services and combat forgery, particularly in the context of increasing AI misuse. Users can access the system via an official portal, despite a temporary disruption on the Polygon network during the launch. The project reflects a broader commitment to integrating secure technologies in governance.
