Good morning CT started the morning reading through cysic new article about zk and it was insightful
So basically Zero Knowledge (ZK) is one of the most fascinating breakthroughs in cryptography. It was introduced in 1985 by three cryptographers Shafi Goldwasser, Silvio Micali, and Charles Rackoff who discovered a way to prove something is true without revealing the actual information behind it. In simple terms, ZK allows one party (the prover) to show another (the verifier) that a computation was performed correctly, without disclosing the data or process.
Think of it like proving you know a password to a locked vault without saying it aloud you simply walk in, grab a token, and come back out. The proof lies in your action, not in your words.
However, generating these proofs demands massive computational power. Every small step in the original process must be mathematically represented and verified, which is where heavy compute comes in.
That’s where Cysic comes into play they’re building the first full-stack compute network that transforms GPUs, ASICs, and compute resources into verifiable, yield-bearing assets. Essentially, they’re powering the backbone of trustless computation.
