Just saw @cysic_xyz update their whitepaper—shifting focus from verifiable computation to building an open, programmable compute economy. Traditional cloud computing is monopolized by a few giants who control pricing, with costs rising and wait times getting longer. Both AI and ZK workloads are hitting the same bottlenecks. ComputeFi = Real-world necessity Cysic’s proposed ComputeFi model essentially transforms compute resources from rental services into on-chain tradable assets. The core innovation lies in building a verifiable on-chain marketplace that connects: Providers: GPUs, ASICs, mobile phones, or any idle compute resources Demanders: AI labs, Rollups, miners ⚡️ Technical moat Hardware-agnostic: Works with GPUs, ASICs, CPUs Workload-agnostic: Supports AI, ZK, HPC, mining Verifiable: Every task can be proven or cross-checked Composable: Operates across different chains and protocols Economic incentives in the operating mechanism The Cysic network coordinates through a Proof of Compute mechanism: Providers supply compute Validators verify correctness Requesters pay for completed work Payments are transparently distributed ————————————————————————— When computing is no longer monopolized—when access is open, costs are fair, security is trustless, and scalability is limitless—@cysic_xyz is turning computation into truly programmable, ownership-verifiable open infrastructure.
