On the back end, the collaboration will unite M42’s advanced Transformational AI platform with Constellation Network’s Hypergraph Network, a decentralized framework that enables secure, scalable, and transparent data exchange across enterprise and Web3 environments.

Together, M42 and Constellation will partner with DFNN Group, one of the Philippines’ leading technology companies which has regulated operations in lotteries, gaming, capital market, Exchanges, banking, payments and Online Trading, which will provide regulatory expertise and licensed operational infrastructure.
