Press Release

Zingly launches a bold AI-driven future of customer experience for a world beyond 1-800 calls and chatbots

Published

on

–News Direct–

Ex-Avaya, Five9, Glia, and Talkdesk industry leaders join forces to revolutionize customer experience (CX) with the launch of Zingly, a Collaborative Customer Experience (CCX) Platform. The patented customer-facing technology combines GenAI, digital interactions, and telephony, providing infinite scale to enterprises, and hyper personalization to consumers, resulting in revenue acceleration and lasting customer relationships.

With this launch, Zingly is today announcing it has raised a $10m seed funding round from Dell Technologies Capital, WestWave Capital, Scribble Ventures, Formus Capital, Geekdom Fund, Array Ventures, Firebolt Ventures, Burst Capital, and from leaders in the CX industry.

Today, customers are still primarily required to call 800 numbers and punch numbers into an interactive voice response (IVR) whenever they need to communicate with businesses. For customers, phone calls are an outdated and frustrating experience, and for businesses, theyre an expensive and unscalable method of communication. Meanwhile, businesses are seeing 10x traffic on their website and apps while experiencing declining call center traffic.

Technology advancements in CX have typically focused on operational savings driven by cloud migration and agent support tools, but have often neglected the end customer. Zingly rectifies this imbalance by providing customers with Zingly-Roomsa patented, always-on space where customers can instantly connect and collaborate with businesses, eliminating the need for calls.

This is driven by the companys Generative AI product technologies, including Relationship-AI and Zingly-Buddy. Zingly focuses on eliminating friction and accelerating engagement use cases like customer acquisition, onboarding, customer service and success, and many more. This is done through a modern no-code-low-code platform that integrates into any tech stack (CRM, existing contact center technologies, customer support systems, and core operations) and intelligently combines cutting-edge Generative AI, humans, and data. The end result is an innovative collaborative space that can scale to support service and sales operations for businesses of all sizes, while providing hyper-personalization for customers.

Founded in 2021 by Gaurav Passi, a former executive at Avaya and Five9, Zingly was born out of a recognition that traditional contact center solutions were becoming obsolete. With global inflationary pressures driving up the cost per call and limiting scalability due to the finite number of agents, the need for industry disruption was clear. Passi teamed up with seasoned CX, CRM, and CCaaS leaders from Five9, Talkdesk, and Glia to launch Zingly.

Traditional contact center solutions are out of date and simply not personable for customers, or scalable for businesses. The math is clear, there are approximately 16.5 million call center agents globally handling potentially billions of customers. More importantly, the frustration and long wait times associated with traditional calling and rigid workflow-driven chatbots have created what we call a fear of reaching out (FORO) among customers. Our vision with Zingly is to destroy FORO and make it collaborative for customers and businesses to come together, said Gaurav Passi, CEO and founder of Zingly.

Zingly represents a significant leap forward from the traditional trade-off between personalization and scalability in CX. While traditional calls are unscalable and conversational chatbots can feel too robotic, Zingly offers a new CX paradigm that is faster, cheaper, and more secure than both 1-800 numbers and conversational AI chatbots added Gaurav Passi.

Currently focusing on high-value industries such as financial services, healthcare, and product companies, Zingly is able to help organizations modernize their customer experience seamlessly by integrating with their existing technology stacks. As an example, Zingly is working with a Fortune 500 provider to engage with 5x more customers than traditional 1:1 phone conversations, while also reducing typical conversion time from 60 to 18 days, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of revenue uplift. Most importantly, it allowed them to innovate on top of their core infrastructure like Salesforce and Avaya without any disruption.

To truly revolutionize CX, it needed top industry leaders like those from Zingly to step back and fundamentally reimagine a new approach. Incremental improvements to CX were not enough. A deep technology solution intelligently combining data, GenAI, and humans, as well as a dedicated team of CX experts together with forward looking Fortune 500 design partners was required for such a revolution, said Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst, ZK Research.

The vision presented by Zingly happens once in a decade. We are excited to partner with the team right from its inception, said Gaurav Manglik of WestWave Capital. While Gokul Rajaram, Board Member at Coinbase and Pinterest, and former executive at DoorDash and Square added: What I respect about Gaurav Passi as a leader and Zingly as a company is that they have had the same mission from day 1. They work closely with large complex enterprises to solve deep challenges, and as a result, have built the best platform to disrupt the much needed CX industry with clear ROI. This clarity of mission and singular focus has been a big reason for their continued success.

Looking ahead, Zingly is rapidly expanding its teams in data science and engineering, sales, and marketing with plans to double its headcount by the end of next year. On track to be driving millions of quality customer interactions this year, Zingly is accelerating its mission to help companies collaborate with their customers and build relationships bigger than business.

Press Release

ARCLaunch Prepares New Arc Launchpad for Arc Chain’s Memecoin Ecosystem

Published

on

ARCLaunch is developing an all-in-one memecoin platform for Arc Chain ahead of the network’s public mainnet launch. The planned Arc Chain Launchpad will combine token creation, trading, swaps, bridging, unified balances, creator profiles, Uniswap integration, creator fees and referrals.

United States, 13th Aug 2026 – ARCLaunch is preparing to introduce a new token launch and trading platform as Arc Chain moves closer to its public mainnet debut.

The upcoming Arc Launchpad is designed to give creators and traders one place to launch, discover, buy, sell and swap memecoins on Arc Chain. Planned features include an integrated bridge, unified balances, developer profiles, direct Uniswap launches, creator rewards and a referral program.

ARCLaunch is expected to arrive during an important period for the emerging network. Arc’s official team has confirmed that public mainnet is scheduled to launch on September 16, 2026, opening the stablecoin-native Layer 1 to developers, businesses and public users.

Bringing Consumer Token Launches to Arc

Arc has largely been introduced as infrastructure for programmable money, stablecoin payments, tokenized assets and onchain financial markets. ARCLaunch plans to complement that institutional and developer-focused foundation with a consumer-facing token platform.

The product follows a model familiar to memecoin communities: simplify token creation, place new launches in a shared discovery feed and allow users to trade without moving through several unrelated applications.

Creators will not be expected to deploy contracts manually. Instead, ARCLaunch plans to provide a guided interface for entering the token’s name, ticker, image, description and public links.

Once the launch is confirmed, the platform will handle the underlying onchain deployment.

Launch, Discover and Trade in One Place

ARCLaunch is being developed as more than a token-creation form.

The planned product will support the wider lifecycle of an Arc memecoin, from bringing funds onto the network to launching and trading the resulting asset.

Its announced functionality includes:

  • Token creation on Arc Chain
  • Discovery of new and active launches
  • Integrated buying and selling
  • Token swaps
  • Bridging into Arc
  • Unified USDC balances
  • Developer and creator profiles
  • Direct launches to Uniswap
  • Creator and developer fees
  • Referral rewards

Final specifications may change before release because ARCLaunch remains under development. Fees, supported networks and launch mechanics should be confirmed when the production platform becomes available.

Why Arc Provides a Different Foundation

ARCLaunch is being built specifically around Arc rather than adapting a launchpad designed for another blockchain.

Arc is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 developed by Circle. It supports standard Solidity contracts and familiar Ethereum development tools, while introducing a stablecoin-native economic model.

One of its most significant differences is the use of USDC as the native gas asset. Users will not need to acquire a separate volatile token simply to pay transaction fees.

For a launchpad, this could make costs easier to understand. Launch and trading expenses can be expressed in a dollar-denominated asset rather than a network token whose value changes independently.

Arc also provides sub-second deterministic finality. Transactions are designed to become final quickly, without requiring users or applications to wait through several additional blocks.

That combination of EVM compatibility, USDC-based gas and rapid settlement provides the technical foundation for ARCLaunch’s planned token and trading experience.

Arc Public Mainnet Arrives September 16

Arc’s September launch date has been officially announced.

The network’s public mainnet is scheduled to go live on September 16, 2026. Arc is currently operating in private mainnet following an extensive public testnet period.

Circle launched the Arc public testnet in October 2025 with more than 100 participating companies and infrastructure providers. The group included wallet platforms, developer-tool companies, cross-chain protocols, exchanges, financial institutions and decentralized-finance projects.

Circle has positioned Arc as an “Economic OS” for internet-native financial activity. ARCLaunch represents a more specialized layer of that ecosystem, focused on permissionless token creation and community-driven trading.

Direct Uniswap Launches

Direct Uniswap connectivity is among the most important features announced for ARCLaunch.

The planned integration is intended to connect token creation with decentralized liquidity. Instead of creating a token through one application and configuring its trading market through another, creators could move directly from ARCLaunch into a Uniswap-based market.

Arc’s EVM environment makes established Ethereum-compatible contracts and infrastructure available to developers. Uniswap Labs was also named among the digital-market participants involved in Arc’s testnet ecosystem.

ARCLaunch has not yet published its final liquidity architecture. Details such as pool type, initial liquidity, bonding-curve mechanics and possible migration thresholds should be verified after the production contracts are released.

Bridging Funds Into Arc

An integrated bridge is intended to simplify one of the largest challenges facing applications on a new blockchain: users may own USDC but hold it on another network.

ARCLaunch plans to let users move supported assets to Arc without leaving the platform. This could create a more direct path from funding a wallet to launching or purchasing a token.

The final release should make several details clear before users approve a transfer:

  • Source and destination networks
  • Supported assets
  • Bridge provider
  • Estimated completion time
  • Network and protocol fees
  • Whether users receive native USDC
  • Procedures for delayed transfers

Bridge routes can depend on external infrastructure and may not always remain available.

Unified USDC Balances

ARCLaunch also plans to support unified balances.

Circle’s Unified Balance system is designed to combine USDC deposited from supported networks into one spendable balance. Applications can then draw from that combined balance when a user completes an action on another supported chain.

For ARCLaunch users, this could reduce the need to think about USDC as a separate balance on every blockchain. Funds held across supported environments may become easier to use for Arc-based launches and trades.

The precise integration has not yet been disclosed. Supported source chains, wallet requirements and transaction flows should be confirmed when ARCLaunch publishes its full documentation.

Developer Profiles for Greater Context

Developer profiles are expected to give traders more information about the creators behind new tokens.

A profile could show previous launches, creator activity, connected social accounts and other public project details. Over time, this may help established developers build a recognizable history within the platform.

Profiles can add useful context, but they cannot guarantee that a token is safe or likely to succeed. Traders should still review the contract, liquidity conditions, creator allocation and official communications.

Creator Fees and Referral Rewards

ARCLaunch plans to include financial incentives for both token creators and platform users.

Developer or creator fees may allow launchers to receive a share of trading activity generated by their tokens. This could encourage creators to remain involved after deployment instead of treating the launch as a one-time event.

The referral program is expected to reward users who introduce eligible creators or traders to the platform.

Important details—including fee percentages, qualifying activity, payout assets and claim procedures—have not yet been finalized publicly. ARCLaunch users should rely on the official platform terms once they become available.

A Pump.fun-Like Experience on New Infrastructure

ARCLaunch can broadly be compared with Pump.fun because both platforms aim to make memecoin creation accessible to non-technical users.

The similarity is primarily in the experience: quick token creation, immediate discovery and integrated trading.

The underlying networks are different. Pump.fun was created for Solana, while ARCLaunch is being developed for Arc’s EVM-compatible and USDC-native environment.

That difference shapes several planned ARCLaunch features:

  • USDC-denominated gas fees
  • Compatibility with Ethereum development infrastructure
  • Direct access to Uniswap liquidity
  • Cross-chain USDC bridging
  • Unified balances
  • Deterministic sub-second settlement

ARCLaunch is therefore adapting a proven consumer launchpad concept to Arc’s distinct technical and financial architecture.

What Should Be Verified Before Release?

As an upcoming platform, ARCLaunch still has several important details to publish.

Prospective users should review the following before connecting a wallet or using real funds:

  • Official production contracts
  • Independent security audits
  • Launch and trading fees
  • Token-supply rules
  • Liquidity structure
  • Uniswap pool configuration
  • Creator-fee allocation
  • Referral conditions
  • Supported bridge routes
  • Wallet compatibility
  • Unified-balance implementation
  • Official support accounts

Users should also confirm that they are accessing the official arclaunch.fun domain.

Memecoins are speculative assets and may lose their value rapidly. A simple launch process does not guarantee liquidity, demand or long-term project success.

ARCLaunch Prepares for Arc’s Next Phase

ARCLaunch is being developed as Arc Chain prepares to move from private mainnet into public availability.

The platform’s planned combination of token creation, trading, bridging, unified balances and Uniswap integration could give Arc an early consumer-focused memecoin hub. Developer profiles, creator fees and referrals would add identity and incentive layers around the core launch process.

The upcoming Arc Chain Launchpad will ultimately be judged by its production contracts, security, liquidity design and ease of use. Its timing, however, places it near the beginning of an entirely new blockchain ecosystem.

With Arc public mainnet scheduled for September 16, 2026, ARCLaunch is positioning itself as a potential first destination for users who want to create and trade memecoins on the new network.

From Chinese AI to Global ETFs: STARTRADER Launches 45 New 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, August 13th, 2026, FinanceWire

Available from August 13, 2026, the launch covers seven distinct market themes with no trading-hour restrictions.

STARTRADER today announced the launch of 45 new 24/7 Stock and ETF CFDs, available from Monday through Sunday, 00:00–24:00 (GMT+3 platform time).

Where previous 24/7 expansions were anchored around specific themes, this one is defined by its breadth. From quantum computing and Chinese large language models to global index ETFs and digital asset infrastructure, the 45 instruments reflect the full diversity of where market attention sits today.

Two names mark new additions to the platform. ZHIPU and MINIMAX are Hong Kong-listed Chinese AI companies that debuted on HKEX in January 2026. ZHIPU develops large language models for enterprise and developer markets. MiniMax is an AI company focused on artificial general intelligence (AGI), with investors including Alibaba, Tencent, and Hillhouse Capital, and has attracted sustained market attention since its listing.

STARTRADER builds its product offering around where eligible clients are directing their attention. When significant market narratives emerge in new geographies, ensuring access to them is a core part of that responsibility.

“This launch reflects a deliberate choice to keep pace with how global market interest actually moves, across regions, sectors, and timeframes simultaneously. For eligible clients, the launch provides access to a broader range of instruments across regions, sectors, and market themes.” Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER

As STARTRADER’s 24/7 product range continues to grow, the focus remains consistent: building access that reflects the global market as it is today.

Out-of-hours trading may involve wider spreads, reduced liquidity and price gaps, particularly when underlying markets are closed.

Risk Warning: Trading CFDs involves a significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Please ensure you fully understand the risks before trading.
