The State Tax Service and the Border Guard Service have implemented an automated data exchange regarding the border crossing of citizens and vehicles. The systems provide instant responses, allowing for quick verification of tax residency and detection of fraudulent documents without changing the exit rules from the country. The automated access eliminates the need for paper correspondence between agencies. Previously, requests were sent by mail, and border guards processed them manually. Now, an electronic request is generated by an official, and the response is provided by the system within seconds. Acting Head of the Border Guard Service Valery Vavryniuk noted that the digitalization of inter-agency interaction is a key direction for the development of state institutions. The Tax Service uses information about border crossings to determine tax residency and prevent fraudulent operations. Data exchange is conducted through the National Confidential Communication System in compliance with security rules, including point-by-point request formation and the use of qualified electronic signatures. Having tax issues is not a basis for prohibiting exit from the country.

Agave v4.2 targets mainnet feature activations on 17 August 2026, but the slot-time change is only step one of a five-step reduction — 400ms to 350ms, not the 200ms end state. Alpenglow's complete code ships with this release; its activation is set for v4.3.











Japan and the United States bought yen together on 31 July 2026, their first coordinated yen-buying operation since June 1998, and the currency has since firmed from a 40-year low of 163.99 into the 155-156 area. This explainer sets out the three channels linking the yen to bitcoin: carry-trade unwind risk, yen-denominated repricing, and the dollar-weakness correlation that points the other way.
