As we methodology one absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely completely completely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely completely absolutely absolutely completely completely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely completely completely different nationwide election this Monday, I can’t assist nonetheless replicate on the momentum we’ve began as a neighborhood—regardless of the Tokenized Electoral Framework Protocol not being adopted in time.
Referring to the creator: Paul Soliman is the Founder, CEO, and CTO of Hacktiv Colab Inc and Co-Founder, Chairman, and CTO of Bayanichain. In 2023, Soliman launched to COMELEC a proposed solution for utilizing blockchain for clear and guarded elections.
At BayaniChain, we proposed a hybrid blockchain voting rising that balances auditability and data privateness by means of the utilization of each personal and non-private ledgers.
- The thought is simple: whereas the voter expertise stays the equal—ballots, shading, vote counting machines—the backend would transmit immutable info by native to nationwide nodes, validated by third-party observers.
- Every vote, encoded as a novel NFT, would add a layer of transparency and digital safety actually not earlier to seen in our elections.
This protocol is powered by Prismo, our superior blockchain layer utilizing homomorphic encryption to guard delicate voter info.
All by the interim, we examined Prismo’s Partial Homomorphic Encryption (PHE) for an election use case—demonstrating that privacy-preserving computation is solely not solely potential nonetheless obligatory for reliable digital governance. (See Footage Beneath:)
Sadly, implementation lacked the required institutional help.
Nonetheless this doesn’t diploma out failure—it indicators the start. And that is nonetheless a win for CryptoPH.
- The reality that blockchain for elections is now being talked about at a nationwide stage is already a extreme breakthrough.
- We’ve seen authorities curiosity, public consciousness, and most significantly, the unrelenting push from our neighborhood.
- The thought blockchain is simply too troublesome for older generations is a delusion. We designed this protocol to be seamless and invisible to the voter—proving that tech can improve notion with out disrupting custom-made.
Attributable to BitPinas for overlaying this initiative and serving to amplify the message that blockchain shouldn’t be going to be just about tokens—it’s about notion, transparency, and transformation.
So whereas this 12 months’s elections will proceed with out blockchain integration, the dialog has begun. And that components. To the builders, believers, and advocates contained contained contained contained all by the blockchain dwelling—thanks. Our work continues, and the next election could merely be the one the place notion is solely not solely promised nonetheless cryptographically assured.

What else is happening in Crypto Philippines and former?
