Cysic is a decentralized compute infrastructure for ZK proofs, AI inference, and verifiable computation. Built on Cosmos CDK with Proof-of-Compute consensus, the network processed 10M+ ZK proofs during testnet with 260,000+ nodes globally. Mainnet launched December 2025 with $CYS token and ComputeFi framework.

CLI & Infrastructure
|
- Python 3.8 or higher (download)
- pip (included with Python)
- Familiarity with Cysic node requirements (see Cysic Docs)
Option A — Windows (one-click):
Double-click run.bat — it installs Rich automatically and launches the menu.
Option B — Manual (all platforms):
git clone https://github.com/user/Cysic-Testnet.git
cd Cysic-Testnet
pip install -r requirements.txt
python cysic_launcher/main.py| Package | Version | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
rich |
≥ 13.0 | Terminal UI — panels, tables, styled output |
Configured via the Settings menu (option 2) or edit directly. Auto-created on first launch:
{
"rpc_url": "https://rpc.testnet.cysic.xyz",
"chain_id": "cysic-testnet-1",
"node_type": "full",
"auto_start": false
}| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
rpc_url |
Cysic testnet RPC endpoint for node communication |
chain_id |
Network chain identifier (cysic-testnet-1 for testnet) |
node_type |
Node role — full (sync and validate) or validator (active block production) |
auto_start |
Auto-launch node on application start (true/false) |
python cysic_launcher/main.pyOr on Windows:
run.batThe interactive menu:

pip install -r requirements.txtWhat is Cysic Network?
Cysic is a full-stack compute infrastructure for verifiable AI, ZK proofs, and decentralized compute. It uses Proof-of-Compute consensus (based on useful computational work, not capital). The network features prover nodes, verifier nodes, hardware acceleration via custom ASIC chips, and a dual-token model ($CYS + $CGT).
What is ComputeFi?
ComputeFi is Cysic's framework that transforms compute into a verifiable, financialized resource. It supports ZK proof generation, AI inference, and mining workloads through a decentralized marketplace. Compute contributors earn rewards through Digital Compute Cube NFTs and token incentives.
Full node vs Validator — which should I choose?
Full node syncs and validates the chain — lower resource requirements, good for monitoring.
Validator actively participates in block production — requires staking and higher uptime. Start with full during testnet, upgrade to validator when ready.
Where is the settings file stored?
Settings are saved at cysic_launcher/config/settings.json. The directory and file are auto-created on first launch. You can edit the JSON directly or use the Settings menu (option 2).
Can I run this on a VPS?
Yes. The launcher works on any system with Python 3.8+. On Linux VPS:
screen -S cysic
python cysic_launcher/main.py
