Key Takeaways75% of Gen Z workers plan to explore a new role within six months, and only 13% expect to stay at one company longer than four years, according to Robert Half.Gen Z treats job-hopping as a deliberate way to build skills faster, using each role as a short learning cycle rather than a sign of disloyalty or pure pay chasing.Clear career progression, flexibility, and values-aligned work now rank alongside pay, so employers that fund training and normalize internal moves have a better shot at retention.

Blast once attracted more than $2 billion in assets, partly through rewards offered to users depositing funds.

With a new set324alias message, a node announces its own aliases at connection time, so new messages can be deployed and experimented with at the P2P layer without that coordination. Towns also noted…
