  • AppYea Inc. Acquires Techlott’s Institutional‑Grade Blockchain Lottery & Gaming Platform in Strategic Business Pivot

    AppYea Inc. Acquires Techlott’s Institutional‑Grade Blockchain Lottery & Gaming Platform in Strategic Business Pivot

    JERUSALEM, IL / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2025 / AppYea Inc. (OTCQB:APYP) today announced a strategic business pivot with the acquisition of Techlott Ltd.’s proprietary blockchain-based lottery and gaming platform. The transaction refocuses AppYea on the rapidly growing institutional lottery market, providing a complete, production-ready technology package engineered for enterprise deployments.

    Why Techlott is a Game-Changer?

    Techlott’s platform addresses the core weaknesses of legacy lottery systems-high costs, opacity, and slow scaling. Its Web3 architecture is built for today’s market:

    • Engineered for Public Trust: The system puts governance and compliance at its core. It features on-chain draw logic, verifiable randomness, and an immutable audit trail-all essential for regulators and government ministries. This design helps build public trust by providing full transparency.

    • Significantly Lower Operating Costs: Unlike legacy systems that rely on complex infrastructure and large back-office teams, Techlott’s design automates core workflows and reduces operational overhead. We project this can lead to up to significant lower operating costs for our partners.

    • Security and Readiness: The platform’s smart contracts have passed an independent QuillAudits review with no high or medium-severity issues. The system has successfully processed over 212,000 test transactions under transparency review, validating its readiness for national-scale use.

    • Built for Flexibility: The stack supports B2G, B2B, and B2C models, allowing for broad commercial deployment. It integrates with multiple blockchain networks and supports hybrid fiat-crypto payments.

    Global Lottery Market: A Massive, Under-Digitized Opportunity

    Independent market data consistently shows a very large and expanding market:

    • Grand View Research: $353.29B (2024), forecast to reach $483.93B by 2030.

    • Verified Market Research: $327.44B (2024), forecast to reach $402.42B by 2032.

    With only ~16% of global lottery activity currently online, the market is poised for digital migration. Techlott’s platform is uniquely positioned to capture this significant opportunity.

    Next Steps & Capital Markets

    As part of the transaction, AppYea is aligning with Techlott’s team, with Techlott becoming a significant shareholder and gaining board representation. We will focus on:

    1. Technology Integration & Commercialization: Rapidly integrating the platform and initiating go-to-market efforts focused on government and enterprise deployments.

    2. Applying to uplist to a US Exchange: Advancing preparations for a potential uplisting application and related financing activities to support scaled operations.

    Executive Commentary

    Yakir Abadi, Chief Executive Officer, AppYea:

    “This acquisition is the culmination of a clear strategy. We identified a gap in a multi-billion dollar market and acquired the technology to fill it. Regulators and ministries worldwide are seeking transparency and efficiency, and Techlott delivers exactly that. Our plan is simple and focused: integrate, sign anchor partners, and prepare for our next chapter on a major exchange.”

    Mark Katzenelson, Founder, Techlott:

    “After years of development and millions of dollars invested, our platform is ready for prime time. Teaming with AppYea gives us the public-market presence and governance needed to deploy our technology at institutional and national scale. This partnership is a catalyst for our growth.”

    Eldar Edmond Grady, Chairman, AppYea:

    “We are now a technology-driven company with a clear product, a solid execution plan, and a path to growth. Our focus is on disciplined delivery: bringing the technology to market, securing key contracts, and strengthening our capital structure to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

    Additional information on the transactions are provided in AppYea’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    About Techlott Ltd.

    Techlott Ltd. is a Cyprus‑incorporated technology company specializing in lottery and gaming platforms for regulated environments. Under the parties’ definitive agreements, AppYea is acquiring Techlott’s software (including source code), documentation, and related IP, positioned for institutional‑grade commercialization.

  • Entrepreneurship Essentials Revolutionizes AI Integration with Strategic Workflow Framework in Arizona Workshop

    Entrepreneurship Essentials Revolutionizes AI Integration with Strategic Workflow Framework in Arizona Workshop

    Tucson, Arizona – August 21, 2025 – (PRESS ADVANTAGE) –

    Entrepreneurship Essentials recently hosted a workshop called “Unlocking the Future of Work: AI in the Workplace” in Nogales, Arizona. Led by Dr. Greg Watson, an expert in AI strategies for business and a recognized professor, the event focused on changing how companies view and use artificial intelligence. The aim was to look at AI not just as a simple tool but as a valuable team member that can manage complex tasks through structured and automated systems.

    For more information on the range of services offered, including entrepreneurship consulting and digital marketing, visit the Entrepreneurship Essentials website.

    A major highlight of the workshop was the introduction of the Strategic AI Workflow Framework. This new approach is designed for businesses ready to make the most of AI’s capabilities. The framework promotes a well-monitored, integrated AI system that carefully tracks workflows, making transitions easier when staff or technology changes occur. This allows tasks to be completed more efficiently with less human input, helping companies streamline operations and boost productivity.

    During the event, Dr. Watson encouraged participants to reconsider AI’s role in the workplace. He stated, “AI should not be seen as a threat to jobs. Instead, it should be embraced as a powerful augmentation tool that can significantly boost productivity and efficiency.” This message was especially relevant in Nogales’ bilingual business setting, showcasing AI’s function in managing Spanish-language content effectively.

    The workshop featured a demonstration of Agentic AI Workflows, which are predefined automations that perform tasks reliably. One example was the full automation of a marketing content pipeline, showing AI’s potential to change routine tasks. Participants received guidance on creating a strategic plan for implementing AI in their businesses. This involved pinpointing problem areas, building prototypes, deploying, documenting workflows, and scaling with continual feedback.

    To explore how such frameworks can be customized for specific business needs, check out the corporate innovation and leadership development services offered by Entrepreneurship Essentials.

    The Strategic AI Workflow Framework is especially useful for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to use AI effectively. This framework includes four main stages. The first stage, Identify Bottlenecks, helps businesses recognize repetitive tasks that waste resources. The Prototype Workflows stage uses tools like ChatGPT and Google Workspace to develop initial automation models. In the third stage, Deploy and Document, Watson’s detailed documentation system ensures AI activities are carefully tracked and adaptable. The final stage, Scale with Feedback, incorporates regular reviews to improve ongoing processes.

    After the success of the workshop, Entrepreneurship Essentials announced plans for advanced follow-up sessions and customized business implementation sprints. These upcoming programs aim to help businesses integrate AI more effectively into their daily operations.

    Dr. Watson remains hopeful about AI’s future in the business world. He said, “Our Strategic AI Workflow Framework is a game-changer for businesses aiming to adopt new technologies smartly. By documenting and improving workflows, companies not only increase flexibility in managing changes but also enhance their ability to innovate.”

    Under Watson’s leadership, Entrepreneurship Essentials continues to provide essential resources and guidance to businesses facing modern entrepreneurial challenges. They offer services like entrepreneurship consulting, digital marketing, corporate innovation, leadership development, new venture creation, and private coaching. These services aim to empower businesses to reach their potential in today’s digital environment.

    For entrepreneurs seeking targeted guidance, the new venture development and private coaching options provide tailored support to navigate today’s complex business landscape.

    The focus on practical, achievable steps in AI integration shows Entrepreneurship Essentials’ dedication to promoting innovation. Their commitment to helping businesses understand and implement AI through structured methods showcases their role as a crucial partner for entrepreneurs seeking growth and success in a competitive market.

    As more companies look to AI to improve efficiency, workshops like “Unlocking the Future of Work: AI in the Workplace” by Entrepreneurship Essentials act as valuable guides for effectively adopting and using AI technology.

Her work focused on how reactive oxygen species produced during inflammation-such as hydrogen peroxide and taurine chloramine-affect the ability of chemotherapy drugs to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. She discovered that oxidative stress can inhibit both tumor cell death and the immune clearance of dying cells, and that antioxidants can restore chemotherapy efficacy. Dr. Shacter also identified the actin-regulating protein cofilin as a key intracellular redox sensor whose oxidation triggers mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Additionally, she uncovered a novel role for the anticoagulant protein S in promoting macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. These findings provided critical insights into the interplay between inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death, with implications for improving cancer therapies.

    Dr. Shacter holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Johns Hopkins University, completed in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, and a B.Sc. in Zoology from the University of Maryland.
