Governments are going onchain. 🇹🇷
Türkiye's Directorate of Communications (@Communications) has registered cbiletisim.eth, making its first step in establishing an official onchain identity by choosing ENS.

cbiletisim.eth is short for “cumhurbaşkanı iletişim” (presidential communications)
a dWebsite like the one of Türkiye’s @iletisim / @communications is one of the most practical use cases for public institutions
- documents stored on decentralized infrastructure
- verifiable on @ethereum
- accessible via @ensdomains
kudos to the devs bringing governments onchain

.@jpthor of @THORChain just live-demoed a Rune to Monero swap! It’s not live on Mainnet yet, but it appears to be functioning with real Monero! 🤯
None of this would have been possible without the contributions @kayabaNerve has made. The Monero fam is patiently waiting for the launch of @SeraiDEX, but it’s hard not to also be excited about Monero going live on THORChain very soon!! 🔥
Once live, proceed with caution. To be honest, THOR has to really prove itself here, but I, for one, am thrilled to see this integration finally happen. Thank you to JP, @CBarraford, @BooneW, and everyone who made this happen!! 💪💪🙏
🚨 TOMORROW (Wednesday, May 6, 2026), at block 2997100, the Monero FCMP++ and Carrot beta stressnet will hard fork from the current testnet.

On Thursday, @MoneroTalk will host core developer and MRL (@MoneroResearchL) researcher Justin Berman (@justinberman95), who has led the implementation of FCMP++ and Carrot over the past two years. You can ask questions live via @xmr_chat: https://t.co/rKlpHIpb2k
monero launches FCMP++ stressnet tomorrow at block 2,997,100. anonymity set jumps from ring signatures covering 16 outputs to 150m+ outputs. binance already confirmed upgrade support. exchanges spent 2023-2024 delisting privacy coins and now the largest one is actively supporting monero's biggest privacy upgrade ever. zcash doing $761m daily volume is the attention signal but monero shipping a 10,000x improvement to its core privacy guarantees with exchange backing is the catalyst people should be watching this week
41 kidnappings of crypto holders in France in 3.5 months of 2026.
Why?
🥖 French tax officials selling crypto owners' data to criminals (Ghalia C.) + massive tax database leaks.
Now the state also wants IDs and private messages of social media users.
More data = More victims.
The @KelpDAO funds have started being laundered through @THORChain and it's putting the whole industry at risk with the illicit funds.
Their current pattern of transactions look like they are preparing to send it through Wagyu, since it is indeed the best place to acquire XMR fast and as anon as possible.
In light of that I'm making the difficult decision to temporarily pause all XMR swaps/bridges from Wagyu to pre-emptively prevent DPRK from utilizing it.
Having these funds land in the Wagyu protocol (and therefore in the @HyperliquidX system) is something that harms us all.
I will re-evaluate later on when to enable XMR swaps/bridges again, thank you all for your patience.
Also anyone who already held $XMR1 prior to this pause is still able to withdraw ofc, FUNDS ARE ALWAYS SAFU.
If DPRK's funds started being laundered through Hyperliquid it would cause mass chaos for the whole industry, it's for the best that this happens temporarily.
1/3 Now you can run a complete lightweight @ensdomains gateway stack locally on your machine or even provide it as a service to your home or work network(s). This solution allows you to natively resolve ENS domains and dWebsite content without the need for third-party gateways.
