JERUSALEM, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AppYea, Inc. (OTCQB: APYP) ("AppYea" or the "Company") today announced the closing of its previously disclosed transaction with Techlott Ltd. ("Techlott"), completing a key milestone in the Company's strategic transformation into a blockchain infrastructure provider focused on transparency, auditability, and real-time outcome verification.

With the closing complete, AppYea has acquired all rights, title, and interest in Techlott's proprietary blockchain-based lottery and gaming technology stack (the "Techlott Platform"), including the related software, documentation, and intellectual property.

This release follows the Company's recent leadership update in support of the Techlott strategy and reflects AppYea's transition from integration milestones to a focused, commercialization-driven execution phase.

A platform built for environments where outcomes must be provable

Techlott was designed to meet the needs of regulated and institutional stakeholders--where trust is not a marketing message, but an operational requirement. The platform is engineered to enable:

   -- Real-time, tamper-evident on-chain receipts for relevant events and 
      outcomes, supporting transparent verification 
 
   -- Verifiable randomness (VRF) and outcome integrity workflows designed for 
      probability-based systems 
 
   -- End-to-end audit trails built for oversight, reporting, and 
      compliance-aligned review 
 
   -- Integration-friendly deployment, including API/SDK connectivity and a 
      multi-chain architecture suited for high-throughput operator environments 

AppYea believes these capabilities position the Techlott Platform as a "trust layer" that can be deployed across multiple regulated, outcome-driven use cases--starting with lottery and gaming and extending into additional result-based frameworks as the Company continues product expansion.

Market backdrop: large, under-digitized category moving toward verifiable systems

AppYea believes that current under-digitization--combined with rising regulatory scrutiny and public demand for transparency--creates a compelling environment for verifiable, audit-ready systems.

Post-closing priorities: commercialization and scaled deployment readiness

Following the closing, AppYea's near-term execution priorities will include advancing commercial discussions and pilots with regulated and licensed counterparties, initiating deployment packaging for institutional rollouts, and expanding support for additional game formats and jurisdictional "rulebooks" designed to satisfy oversight and reporting requirements.

The Company also continues work on broader corporate initiatives previously outlined, including its planned rebrand to Mellatrix Inc. and ongoing readiness work consistent with the standards typically expected for an eventual potential uplisting pathway, subject to applicable requirements and approvals.

Transaction terms

In connection with the closing, AppYea issued 1,277,922,611 shares of restricted AppYea common stock to Techlott as consideration, representing 35% of the Company's currently issued and outstanding share capital on a fully-diluted basis immediately following the transaction. Additional terms of the transaction and related agreements are included in the Company's SEC filings and in the current report on Form 8-K to be released today.

Management commentary

Yakir Abadi, Chief Executive Officer of AppYea, said:

"Closing the Techlott transaction turns our strategy into an owned asset base. We now control a platform engineered for regulated environments--where outcomes must be verifiable, auditable, and resilient at scale. Our focus is execution: converting the platform's capabilities into deployments, operator integrations, and durable commercial relationships."

Eldar Edmond Grady, Chairman of the Board, added:

"This closing strengthens the Company's foundation and sharpens our direction. We believe Techlott can serve as a core infrastructure layer for transparency across regulated, outcome-driven markets. We remain committed to disciplined delivery and to building long-term value through commercialization progress and continued corporate alignment."
