According to bits.media, Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree establishing the Besqala Mining Valley Special Economic Zone in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Miners operating within the zone will enjoy tax incentives, valid until January 1, 2035. The zone will be connected to a unified power system powered by renewable energy and hydrogen. Cryptographic assets mined within the zone may be sold or exchanged via domestic Uzbek exchanges or overseas platforms. Mining licenses will be issued by the State Agency for Perspective Projects. Currently, Uzbekistan mandates that cryptocurrency transactions be conducted exclusively through state-licensed service providers; peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions are explicitly prohibited by law, digital assets cannot be used for payment or settlement, and only legal entities are permitted to engage in mining activities. The country introduced its mining licensing regime in 2023, with the first license officially issued only at the end of February 2026.

According to the official OpenClaw GitHub release notes, OpenClaw released version v2026.4.25 on April 27. This update covers multiple core modules—including speech, plugins, observability, and browser automation—with the following key highlights: • TTS Overhaul: Added support for six new voice service providers—Azure Speech, Xiaomi MiMo, ElevenLabs v3, Inworld, Volcengine (Volcano Engine), and local CLI—and introduced chat-session-level automatic TTS control, TTS persona binding, and cross-Agent/account-level override configurations. • Plugin Registry Optimization: Migrated plugin startup and installation paths to a cold-persistent registry, reducing full-manifest scanning and improving determinism for plugin updates, fixes, and discovery. • OpenTelemetry Expansion: Extended coverage across the full observability pipeline—including model invocations, token usage, tool loops, Harness execution, process execution, message delivery, context assembly, and memory pressure metrics. • Browser Automation Enhancements: Added iframe-aware role snapshots, CDP readiness tuning, one-click headless startup, and deeper browser diagnostic probes. • Installation Stability Improvements: Fixed installation and update issues across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker platforms.
Odaily News X Product Lead Nikita Bier announced in a post, "Today, we are announcing two product changes for Communities on X:1. XChat now supports joinable links for group chats. Create a public link and share it directly to the timeline. Each chat supports 350 members (and growing), and group chat links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.2. Due to declining usage, we will be deprecating X Communities on May 6th. To migrate your community members, pin your group chat link so people can join over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the X experience. Please don't get it wrong: we are heavily investing in niche communities, through the launch of custom timelines—and more features to come."Subsequently, he added that based on user feedback, to give users ample migration time, the transition period will be extended until May 30th. Additionally, the group chat member limit will be increased to 500 tomorrow, with the goal of reaching 1000 members in the coming weeks. This should cover all communities on X except for a very few.

Monitoring by the Odaily Seer Channel shows that Polymarket has launched a new market titled "When Will the Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Agreement Be Extended?". The probability for an extension by April 21 is currently reported at 15%, having decreased by 12% over the past 7 days. The probability for an extension by April 26 is currently reported at 78%, having increased by 40% over the past 7 days. The total betting volume for this event is currently around $36,000.The contract rules for this event are as follows: If the 10-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah announced on April 16, 2026, is formally extended, the market will resolve to "Yes". The extension is defined as a publicly announced and mutually agreed-upon agreement to extend the cessation of direct military contact between Israel and Hezbollah beyond the specified date (11:59 PM Eastern Time). An extension of the April 16 ceasefire or a new agreement scheduled to take effect before or at the end of the initial agreement will be considered an extension of the ceasefire agreement, provided no ceasefire was in effect during the interim. If a qualifying agreement is formally reached before the resolution date, the market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether the extended ceasefire ultimately takes effect. The extension of the ceasefire agreement requires explicit public confirmation by both the Israeli government and Hezbollah of mutual agreement to cease military hostilities beyond the initially agreed 10-day period, or overwhelming consensus in media reports confirming the formal extension of the ceasefire agreement. Any form of informal understanding, secret channel communication, de-escalation, or unilateral truce does not meet the criteria unless a confirmed agreement on a conditional extension is reached. Similarly, newly agreed humanitarian pauses, limited operational halts, or temporary tactical cessations do not qualify. A newly agreed broader peace agreement that includes a conditional ceasefire extension or suspension of military conflict qualifies. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures without a clear commitment to extend the ceasefire will not qualify. The market will be resolved based on official statements from the Israeli government and Hezbollah. However, overwhelming consensus in credible media reports confirming that an official ceasefire extension agreement has been reached will also serve as a basis for resolution.The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, seeing changes before they are priced in.
