Cysic is a full-stack compute network focused on building reliable, scalable, and monetizable on-chain compute infrastructure. The project aims to address bottlenecks in blockchain scalability by providing ZK proofs (zero-knowledge proofs) and distributed AI inference/training, by turning compute resources (such as GPU, ASIC) into liquid and verifiable assets on-chain. Cysic introduces the concept of 'ComputeFi' – where compute becomes a tradable, staking, and yield-bearing asset. The project is built on the Cosmos CDK blockchain, with layers from consensus to product, including ZK Proof Market, AI Agent Platform, and Digital Compute. The project has raised $18M from funds like HashKey Capital and OKX Ventures before launching.
Token CYS is the native token of the network, launching the mainnet on 11/12/2025, marking the transition from testnet (with over 260,000 nodes and 10 million ZK proofs processed) to actual operation. CYS is listed on major exchanges such as Binance (with perpetual futures up to 20x leverage), KuCoin, MEXC, and Binance Alpha.
Tokenomics and Utilities
• Total Supply: 1 billion tokens (1B CYS).
• Circulating Supply: About 160 million tokens (as of early March 2026), accounting for 16% of total supply.
• Allocation: Not fully detailed on the official page, but sources indicate about 23.62% allocated for investors with vesting schedules (gradual unlock to avoid dump). Redemption: 50% unlock at TGE, 50% linear unlock over 6 months.
• Utilities: CYS is used to pay for proof generation fees, reward node operators (provers and verifiers), staking in Proof-of-Compute consensus (combining capital and compute contribution to determine influence). It also supports governance and incentivizes participation in the ecosystem such as AI agents and compute marketplace. Users can earn CYS by running nodes or staking, with a multiplier from holding NFTs like Tesseract.
• Economic Model: Focused on verifiable compute, with over 8.66M-9M CYS staked, demonstrating a strong community. However, upcoming unlocks may create supply overhang, leading to selling pressure.
