The "hardware + network + Settlement" trinity of @cysic_xyz

The Cysic team publicly emphasizes the development of custom ASICs for ZK workloads, and existing hardware is already "providing power for proofs" in real networks.

At the same time, they have developed their own CUDA kernel for finite field operations on the GPU side, directly accelerating the most resource-intensive arithmetic in zkML/proofs. These two points determine that "with the same watt of electricity and the same dollar," more proofs can be produced.

They extended Google's A2A protocol into Crypto A2A, adding a payment_required process, allowing the agent to collect payment before starting work, and continuing execution after on-chain confirmation; the ecological report also mentioned the first batch of payment paths integrating Solana (including USDC), effectively creating a default closed loop for "task → payment → execution → receipt."

The implementation of ZK/AI is shifting from "comparing TPS" to comparing unit costs and efficiency (proofs per dollar / per watt). Cysic connects the three rings with "ASIC/core optimization (hardware) + SPN order-taking (network) + Crypto A2A (Settlement)";
