In the race to scale blockchain and decentralize AI, one barrier continues to surface: compute. Whether it’s the rising cost of zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation or the opaque infrastructure behind AI inference, developers are increasingly bottlenecked by centralized, expensive, and often inaccessible compute power. One protocol trying to end this bottleneck is Cysic, a decentralized compute marketplace built to provide ZK proofs and verified AI inference. It officially launched its mainnet alpha today, with over 260,000 nodes already onboarded and integrations with Scroll, Succinct, and NetworkNoya ecosystems
