๐Ÿค– Vitalik Buterin ยซvibecoded for funยป a prototype of an anonymous bulletin board based on the private L2 network Aztec โ€” the user deposits ETH, publishes a message without linking it to an address, and a local LLM checks the content according to rules from a smart contract. The experiment clearly shows what private Web3 services with automatic moderation could look like.

In parallel, Buterin wrote, that humanity is approaching the end of its era of complete dominance โ€” he considers the true point of no return not the moment when AI replaces humans in most professions, but when it can independently sustain the development of civilization without human involvement.

The best scenario, in his opinion, is โ€” an alliance of humans and AI, open competition between models, and the ability to slow down technological development in time.

โšก๏ธ The Russian State Duma has finally adopted a law on cryptocurrency market regulation, which establishes rules for the operation of exchanges, brokers, exchangers, and other industry participants โ€” the document comes into force on September 1, 2026 and defines the procedure for buying, selling, storing, and using cryptocurrencies in Russia.

The main beneficiaries of the new regulation, as expected, will be Russian banks and large financial organizations.

At the same time, withdrawing cryptocurrency into rubles through conventional methods will become more restricted, and operations with non-custodial wallets in Russian infrastructure will become less accessible.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The State Duma adopted a law, which legalizes the cryptocurrency market in Russia and defines its main participants, key points:

๐Ÿ”ต Brokers and management companies will be able to act as intermediaries between investors and Russian or foreign crypto infrastructure. For this, they will need additional licenses.
๐Ÿ”ต Official crypto exchangers will appear, who will be able to exchange cashless rubles for cryptocurrency and vice versa. They will have to register and comply with capital requirements.
๐Ÿ”ต For most participants, cryptocurrency will only be available as an investment tool. It is forbidden to pay with it within Russia.
๐Ÿ”ต An exception is made for foreign economic activity and crypto exchangers โ€” they will be able to use cryptocurrency for paying for securities, digital rights, and other digital currencies.
๐Ÿ”ต Only large and liquid assets with a long trading history will be admitted to Russian exchanges. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT meet these criteria.
๐Ÿ”ต Individuals will have to pass testing. For unqualified investors, the Central Bank will separately set the maximum size of a crypto portfolio.
