Cysic Powers Scroll with High-Performance ZK Computing to Scale Ethereum Layer 2

Oct 15, 2024

As the demand for scalable and efficient Ethereum Layer 2 solutions grows, Cysic Network is providing computing power to Scroll, a leading Layer 2 blockchain utilizing zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups. Cysic aims to bring high-performance ZK computing to the forefront, accelerating Ethereum’s scalability by improving ZK proof generation.

Addressing Ethereum’s Layer 2 Scalability Needs

While many Layer 2 solutions promise faster, cheaper transactions, their success hinges on the infrastructure supporting them. Without the right infrastructure; congestion, latency, and rising costs can undermine even the most innovative protocols.

At Cysic, our hardware and software solutions reduce ZK proof generation time from hours to minutes. By doing so, we will enable Scroll to handle increasing transaction volumes while maintaining performance and security. According to Leo Fan, Co-Founder of Cysic, “By accelerating ZK proof generation, we’re not only addressing today’s scaling challenges but also laying the groundwork for a ZK-centric future that will drive blockchain innovation.”

Scroll’s Success and Cysic’s Role

Scroll’s Total Value Locked (TVL) is nearing a billion dollars, reflecting its growing adoption within the Ethereum community. This success brings new challenges — Scroll must scale its infrastructure to handle high transaction volumes without compromising efficiency. That’s where Cysic comes in.

By Scroll delegating its proving tasks to us, we are providing the high-performance infrastructure required to sustain the growth through our GPU servers, ensuring the network can scale while maintaining low latency and minimal costs. This showcases how the right infrastructure is essential to truly unlock Layer 2 scalability.

Introducing ZK Air and ZK Pro

As part of our mission to power the future of ZK technology, we are developing two hardware products that will revolutionize ZK proof generation:

• ZK Air: A lightweight, flexible solution designed for easy deployment across various environments, accelerating ZK proofs at scale.
• ZK Pro: A high-performance product engineered for maximum computational power, enabling large-scale ZK proof generation for enterprise applications.

Both solutions are based on our ASIC C1 chip, providing the computational muscle needed to handle growing transaction volumes without sacrificing speed or security and will be launching in 2025.

Join Our Testnet and Experience the Future

We invite community members with computing resources to participate in Testnet Phase 2 and experience Cysic’s cutting-edge ZK-proving technology firsthand. Provers and verifiers can earn rewards while helping drive the next phase of blockchain scalability.

At Cysic, we are committed to delivering the infrastructure that will power Ethereum’s next chapter — scaling Layer 2s with unmatched performance, security, and efficiency.
