The SOL/USDT chart on TradingView shows the token trading near the lower end of its recent range, with short-term…

Zama and Morpho are pushing a more privacy-aware version of DeFi with a confidential USDC yield vault design that uses fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE, to bring private deposit logic to a public Ethereum environment. TL;DR Zama published a design for private deposits into public DeFi using FHE. The vault is tied to Morpho and Steakhouse’s confidential USDC Prime setup. The useful angle is how privacy can support institutional DeFi without hiding the existence of the protocol itself. The design, published by Zama, focuses on a simple but important tension in DeFi: institutions may want transparent settlement and public infrastructure,…

Mastering contact center agent onboarding for long-term success is a challenge. Very few businesses can say their program is a total success. Is that unfair? We don’t think so. Just look at the average agent churn statistics across the contact center industry. The average annual agent turnover rate is a whopping 30.2%. That’s one in three people in your team leaving each year. While there may be good reasons for this in some cases (outgrowing a role, being headhunted, etc.), this high attrition rate is often caused by poor call center onboarding that sets new staff off on the wrong…
