The product @ cysic_xyz on token2049 has started pre-sales, and consumer grade mining products can be seen online by the end of this year. At the same time, the partner program is also in full swing. Studying the collaboration between Cysic and zkVerify essentially addresses the two core pain points of the ZK ecosystem - proof of generation cost and verification efficiency. ————————————————————————— Hardware acceleration+verification optimization Cysic's C1 chip can execute 1.31 million Keccak functions per second, which means that traditional CPUs require several hours of ZK proof generation, which can now be completed within 1-5 seconds. ZkVerify specializes in optimizing the verification layer and has processed 2.1 million proofs, reducing verification costs by 91%. Validating a ZK proof on ETH during peak hours costs $60, but zkVerify can reduce this cost to a few dollars. The combination of the two is that Cysic is responsible for generating proofs quickly, while zkVerify is responsible for low-cost verification. Optimization of the production to consumption chain. Compute Fi mode Cysic's Compute Fi is not simply about renting computing power, but tokenizing physical hardware. Users holding tokens representing GPUs or dedicated chips can earn profits from actual computing work. Solved the problem of opaque resource allocation and unfair value distribution in traditional cloud computing. Now everyone can participate in the economic cycle of ZK proof by holding tokenized computing resources. Smart contracts automatically manage token activities, verify performance, and allocate rewards based on real-time usage. Computing power has truly become a tradable means of production. ⚡ Proof of Computer consensus mechanism It's not traditional PoW mining competition, but rather transforming verification tasks into standardized inference problems. Nodes need to truly perform computational tasks. The fast and reliable assembly line ensures that the proof generation and verification of the entire ZK ecosystem can be completed in real time. ————————————————————————— I personally believe that the significance of @ cysic_xyz collaboration lies in the fact that when the generation and validation of ZK proofs are both hardware accelerated and cost optimized, the performance bottleneck of the entire application will be overcome. The universality and applicability of ZK will be greatly enhanced in the future.
