Cysic network breakdown: ZK proof layer, Proof-of-Compute and dual-token design
Post261 words48 likes
Cysic is a Cosmos SDK network with EVM execution, CometBFT consensus and Proof-of-Compute, with provers, verifiers and validators on GPUs and ASICs. It has a CYS/CGT dual token, a 3-year halving schedule and 10% community allocation.
Key claims
$12M seed from Polychain, HashKey, OKX Ventures
Allocation: community 10%, investors/team 33%, treasury 30%, foundation 27%
Validator weight 1/3 stake + 2/3 computing governance credits
Told you it's infra season anon, and with @cysic_xyz, another major pre-TGE infra project just launched its @KaitoAI leaderboard.
Having raised $12M in seed funding from investors like @polychain, @HashKey_Capital or @OKX_Ventures, Cysic is building a unique, full-stack compute network that turns GPUs, ASICs and compute into liquid, yield-bearing assets.
Let me give you a TL;DR ↓
At Cysic's core stands a specialized ZK proof layer that delivers high-performance and cost-effective proof generation + verification services to the entire ZK ecosystem.
Cysic is built on the Cosmos SDK and execution is EVM-compatible (see attached architecture visual for more information).
Network Architecture:
- Provers: Compute ZK proofs (Normal Proof Tasks from ZK projects, Aggregated Proof Tasks for Ethereum settlement)
- Verifiers: Lightweight nodes that verify proofs (minimum 6 verifiers must approve)
- Validators: Hold veTokens as stake and participate in block production
- Hardware Support: GPU servers, laptops, cell phones, and Cysic ASICs
Consensus Mechanism:
- CometBFT-based with Byzantine Fault Tolerance (tolerates up to 1/3 malicious nodes)
- Proof-of-Compute (PoC): Quantifies computational contributions
- Validator weight = 1/3 stake + 2/3 Computing Governance credits
Dual Token Model:
- $CYS: Native token for transaction fees, block rewards (150M starting supply)
- $CGT: Non-transferable governance token obtained by staking $CYS and completing tasks
Token Economics:
- Halving Schedule: Every 3 years (50→25→12.5 $CYS per block)
- Block Time: 10 seconds
- Distribution: ~1/3 to staking, ~2/3 to computing providers
Initial Token Allocation:
- Community: 10%
- Investors/Team: 33% (1-year cliff, 3-year vesting)
- Treasury Reserve: 30%
- Foundation: 27%
