Company Profile / Project Introduction
Cysic is a zero-knowledge (ZK) hardware startup that aims to provide hardware acceleration solutions for ZK proof protocols. Within two months of launching, the Cysic team developed a FPGA prototype of multi-scalar multiplication (MSM), which is an important component within ZK protocols. An FPGA is a type of programmable hardware, which is akin to CPU and GPU chips. Running MSM on a CPU can be incredibly power and time intensive, which is why Cysic focused on trying to accelerate this component with FPGAs.
