    M42, Constellation Network and DFNN Group Announce Agreement to Pioneer the World’s First Blockchain and Crypto-Integrated National Lottery

    Collaboration Unites Transformational AI and Blockchain to Drive Innovation Across Regulated Industries Unlocking Market Opportunities

    DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / Messier 42 LLC (“M42”), a private leading global artificial intelligence technology and digital transformation company, announces that it has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Constellation Network and DFNN Inc. to launch the world’s first AI, Blockchain and Crypto ecosystem in the Philippines, merging the country’s established regulated operations of Exchanges, Lotteries, Gaming, Capital Markets, Banking, and Online Trading with the power of Web3 technology and decentralized finance.

    This groundbreaking initiative positions the Philippines as an innovative and forward-looking leader in blockchain-enabled regulated industries globally. In the Philippines, the lottery comprises over 45% of all gaming revenue while the Asia-Pacific region dominates the global lottery with a 38% market share. Furthermore, the Philippines ranks 4th in crypto adoption with nearly 13% of the population using crypto. The intersection of crypto and gaming presents a notable pathway to onboard new users while leveraging blockchain technology to set an example for responsible evolution of traditional markets in the digital age.

    The Partnership

    On the front end, the partnership will enable the purchase of regulated national lottery tickets with cryptocurrency. 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. Constellation’s native cryptocurrency, DAG, powers decentralized data validation and security functions within the network. 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.

    Unlocking a Global Opportunity

    This combination of openness to adopt these new technologies for the various traditional industries and high crypto participation provides a unique environment for blockchain-driven innovation. The collaboration will explore compliant digital business models for processes, payments, transparency and ease of use, including envisioned crypto-enabled payments, transparent draws, and regulated cross-border participation.

    “Our vision is to merge innovation with integrity,” said Greg Lackland from M42. “This project will demonstrate how blockchain can enhance transparency, trust, and accessibility in real-world applications, starting with transparency in its various verticals such as lotteries, gaming, payments, and various Exchange Systems. We’re excited to showcase how blockchain technology can modernize legacy industries while upholding trust and regulatory compliance, creating a model with global impact.”

    “What’s exciting is that we’re transforming traditional, centralized databases and networks into modern, secure systems,” said Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. “Similar to our work with the Department of Defense, we’re using Web3 technology to broaden participation in the digital economy, starting with familiar various operations currently running under the DFNN Groups various operations in Lotteries, Gaming, Capital markets and Payments. What we’re building here serves as a blueprint that can be applied to similar established networks around the world.

    “The Philippines has a rare combination of high crypto adoption, digital remittance infrastructure, and an openness to adopt AI & Blockchain Technologies,” said Ramon Garcia Jr. from DFNN. “By uniting AI compliance with blockchain’s capabilities, we can open the door to responsible, democratic financial inclusion across our various regulated operations.

  • M42 Announces Agreement to Acquire Stake in U.S. Rare Earth and Precious Metals Company

    Companies to Leverage Innovative AI Platform to Further Define Major Shovel-Ready Metals Resource, Poised to Become One of World’s Largest Deposits

    DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2025 / Messier 42 LLC (“M42”), a private leading global artificial intelligence technology and digital transformation company, announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a minority interest in a privately developed polymetallic metal resource company based in the Western U.S., specializing in precious, rare earth and critical metals. Initial production and positive cashflow is anticipated within 12 months.

    This investment presents the opportunity to leverage M42’s successful Transformational AI platform to non-invasively locate and further define the resource company’s shovel-ready metals deposit. Both companies believe that the current NI43-101 Measured Resource Report, which is expected to be upgraded to a Probable Reserve Report based on retesting of assay results using more accurate methods, could reflect one of the world’s largest precious, critical and rare earth element deposits.

    “As the global race to secure critical and rare earth elements intensifies, we are thrilled to have found a domestic partner with a world-class resource right here on American soil-where we can apply our AI platform to further define and advance the understanding of these strategic assets,” said Michael Sandoval, Chief Scientist of M42. “By reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, this initiative directly supports American national security while positioning the United States to remain competitive in the global race for technological and economic leadership in the 21st century.”

    “This investment and partnership with M42 AI in our company strengthens U.S. capacity to secure critical minerals and rare earths-resources that are indispensable to defense systems, advanced semiconductors, renewable energy, and next-generation technologies.” said the spokesperson for the private resource company. “We look forward to working with the team at M42 AI to utilize their AI platform to advance our project.”

    The private American company has been developing their world class mine site for over 6 years and is expected to start profitable production within 12 months. In addition to producing precious metals, it is expected to mine significant grades/amounts of key critical and rare earth metals, some of which are either not produced in the US or whose supplies are imported from politically unappealing parts of the world. The management team is comprised of experienced mining and corporate developmental individuals who have successfully built this unconventional project from its inception. Ultimately, the elements contained in this discovery, will enable innovation across critical sectors of the modern U.S. economy, including semiconductors, energy, robotics, defense, and aerospace.

    The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent and is expected to close before the end of the year.
