TechFlow News, July 19 — Cysic, an industry-leading ZK hardware acceleration project, has announced that its ZK DePIN network, Cysic Network, will officially launch its incentivized testnet by the end of July.
The Cysic incentivized testnet will roll out in multiple phases, gradually onboarding validator and prover nodes to provide computational power for ZKP generation and verification on the Cysic Network. In each phase, Cysic will release a limited number of free nodes as community incentives. The first phase of the testnet will open 1,000 validator nodes, with users invited through a whitelist mechanism to become validators.
Whitelist details are available via the Discord link.
Cysic focuses on real-time ZKP generation. It has previously raised $18 million across Seed and Pre-A funding rounds from investors including Polychain Capital, Hashkey Capital, OKX Ventures, and ABCDE. The company has served over 50 leading projects in the ZK space, such as Scroll, Risk Zero, Zkpass, and Ion Protocol. On July 15, leveraging its abundant computing resources and high-performance mining equipment, Cysic topped the leaderboard within 24 hours of the Aleo testnet deployment, achieving over 500 million solutions per second.
