was reading through @cysic_xyz  docs and something clicked.

zk infrastructure doesn’t fit the traditional PoS vs PoW debate.

PoS- stake-weighted consensus.
PoW- energy-intensive mining.

but zk proof generation, it’s compute-heavy, expensive, and tricky to decentralize.

that's why we got Proof of Compute ,a new consensus mechanism designed by Cysic to solve this problem

->validators are ranked not just by staked tokens, but by compute credibility

->provers compete to generate zk-SNARK/zk-STARK proofs

->a small, rotating set of verifiers check validity

->final settlement happens on Ethereum, ensuring L1-grade security and finality

this builds a sustainable prover marketplace, balances compute incentives, and prevents centralized prover risk

Cysic is effectively creating a decentralized zk coprocessor layer, purpose-built for hardware-accelerated, on-demand zk computation.
