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.

Esteemed expert in the regulation and development of biopharmaceuticals, with more than three decades of experience spanning government, industry, and academia

MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2025 / iTolerance, Inc. (“iTolerance” or the “Company”), an early-stage privately-held biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative regenerative medicines, today announced the appointment of Emily Shacter, Ph.D. to the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Shacter has been supporting CMC development for iTolerance since February 2024.

“We are honored to welcome Dr. Shacter to our Scientific Advisory Board. With decades of experience as a leader in the regulation and development of biopharmaceuticals, we believe the insight Dr. Shacter will be instrumental as we continue to transition to a clinical-stage company and advance our therapies as a potential cure for Type 1 Diabetes. This appointment further strengthens our ability to navigate complex regulatory pathways, potentially accelerate clinical translation and unlock the full potential of our pipeline. Additionally, Dr. Shacter’s addition to our Scientific Advisory Board reflects our steadfast commitment to investing in the talent and guidance for iTolerance that we believe is needed to become a leader in the rapidly evolving regenerative medicine market,” commented Anthony Japour, Chief Executive Officer of iTolerance.

Dr. Shacter added, “Throughout my career at the FDA and in industry, I have seen firsthand both the challenges and opportunities involved in developing complex biological products. iTolerance’s platform technology, with its potential to enable tissue, organoid, and cell therapies without the need for life-long immunosuppression, provides an opportunity to address a profound unmet need in the field. I look forward to applying my experience to help guide the Company’s scientific and regulatory strategy as it moves toward clinical translation.”

Dr. Shacter is an esteemed expert in the regulation and development of biopharmaceuticals who served for nearly two decades at in the Division of Therapeutic Proteins of the Office of Biotechnology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Her FDA career focused on oversight of biochemical characterization, manufacturing and control of complex protein therapeutics, including biosimilars and breakthrough biologics. As former Chief of the Laboratory of Biochemistry in the FDA’s CDER, she oversaw the review of numerous INDs and BLAs, played a role in shaping regulatory policy and advancing the science of biologics review, ran a laboratory research program, and oversaw the research of the principal investigators in her group. The research carried out in her laboratory provided the expertise required to understand and regulate complex biological products. Since 2012, she has served as an independent consultant, advising biotechnology companies on scientific and regulatory strategy for biologic drug development.

Additional career highlights include:

• Served as an FDA scientific advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) for the development of international biosimilar guidelines;

• Engaged in FDA advisory and leadership roles, including the CDER Biosimilars Review Committee, Follow-on Biologics Working Group, and various CMC policy development efforts;

• Served as an editor and board member for major scientific journals including Free Radical Biology and Medicine and Journal of Biological Chemistry;

• Was an invited speaker and organizer at over 50 national and international conferences focused on biologics regulation, biosimilars, and analytical science;

• Received multiple FDA awards including the CDER Excellence in Mentoring Award and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Scientific Achievement Award for Excellence in Laboratory Science.

In addition to her decorated career in government and industry, Dr. Shacter’s research made significant contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis, particularly in the context of cancer and inflammation. 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.
