Powering Aleo with Cysic:

Following the successful launch of the Cysic Incentivized Testnet, Cysic team spent significant time on developing and launching Phase 1, Stage 2: Cysic Aleo Mining Pool. With our team’s outstanding CUDA engineering capabilities, we built a state-of-the-art CUDA implementation specifically designed for the Aleo mining algorithm. Our focus was on optimizing the ZK program synthesis component within Aleo-based instructions, enabling Aleo to generate and verify proofs more quickly and efficiently. This directly enhances the speed and security of the Aleo blockchain.

By collaborating closely with the GPU mining community, we developed a reliable and efficient Aleo mining pool that is now open for everyone to participate. We’ve also introduced special benefits for our community members to encourage participation and growth within the network.

As a leading force in the ZK hardware community, Cysic has consistently set new benchmarks, outpacing peers by orders of magnitude in overcoming the MSM/NTT performance bottlenecks that have long challenged curve-based ZKP systems. These breakthroughs are essential for optimizing the efficiency of zero-knowledge proofs, which are fundamental to the Aleo blockchain’s Proof of Succinct Work consensus mechanism. Cysic’s exceptional contribution in ZK hardware innovation has led the community entrusted us with leading the ZPrize competition, confident that our expertise will drive this collective effort to extend the limits of ZK proving performance.

Cysic Aleo Mining Pool Benefits:

• Highly optimized Aleo Mining Pool
• Ultimate performance
• Supporting almost all Nvidia GPUs

We relentlessly worked to develop the most performant Aleo miner, which solely uses a GPU. Cysic miner ranked first place by hours on the last day of the Aleo incentivized testnet, a result we’re proud to highlight in our tweet and in the image shown below.

Get Involved:

Everyone is welcome to join the Cysic Aleo Mining Pool, start contributing, and earn daily Aleo testnet credits.

Note:

• The existing Aleo mining software only supports Nvidia graphics cards. For specific hardware requirements, please refer to the tutorial.
• Currently, our mining software doesn’t support Windows, but we’re actively working on it. Windows compatibility is expected to be resolved in a few weeks.

Why Aleo Matters:

Aleo places privacy at the core of its ecosystem, making it a fundamental principle in all its designs. To achieve this, Aleo has developed a comprehensive toolchain that brings zero-knowledge proofs — an advanced cryptographic technique — within reach of everyday users. This toolchain includes the ZK domain-specific language Leo, the high-performance proof system Marlin, and several other significant technological advancements. The foundation of the Aleo blockchain is its innovative Proof of Succinct Work consensus mechanism, which not only allows for more organic token distribution to users but also drives the advancement of ZK hardware technology. Additionally, Aleo has attracted significant funding from top-tier venture capital firms, cementing its place as the leader in the ZK ecosystem.

Disclaimer: As Aleo approaches its TGE phase, the blockchain could be reset, which potentially affects your credits. Please join the pool at your own risk before the Aleo mainnet announcement. Please note that Cysic reserves all rights in adjusting the pool fee.
