Day X of talking about @cysic_xyz 

Do you know Zero knowledge proving is slow and expensive? 
The main reason is that most provers still run on general-purpose hardware.

But @cysic_xyz takes a different approach. It designs custom ASICs chips built specifically for zk proving.

An ASIC does one job and it does it extremely well. That tradeoff makes sense in zk, where the same proving logic runs over and over again at scale.

Compared to GPUs, a well-designed ASIC can reduce proving time and energy cost by orders of magnitude. It removes the overhead and does only what is needed.

This is not just a performance upgrade. It is a shift in how zk systems scale. If proving becomes cheaper and faster at the hardware level, more applications become possible you get?

Cysic is working at that bottom layer. It is optimizing proofs and rebuilding the machine that runs them.
