Zero-knowledge (ZK) tech company ZKV.xyz aims to shape the future of blockchain security and privacy. Programmable datachain Irys.xyz introduces a model for onchain data interaction. ZK platform Succinct.xyz introduces tools for faster and more scalable blockchain applications. In this week’s #BlockchainThursday, we’ll introduce you to a ZK protocol developing a decentralized proof layer for scalable verification and settlement: Cysic.xyz.
Cysic.xyz is the online home of Cysic, a protocol designed to provide zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation and verification services across the broader cryptographic ecosystem. The network introduces a decentralized framework for proof computation and settlement, addressing the high costs and latency often associated with verifying ZK proofs on Ethereum. Built on the Cosmos SDK and compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the Cysic Network is designed to make proof participation possible for a range of hardware providers, from GPU servers to mobile devices. In September 2025, co-founder Leo Fan spoke at “Verifying Intelligence – Where ZK Meets AI,” a Token2049 week event in Singapore co-organized by House of ZK and Boundless in partnership with Google Cloud.1
Cysic Network offers a one-stop platform for proof generation, verification, and settlement in ZK systems. It introduces decentralized provers to prevent single points of failure and integrates aggregation mechanisms to reduce settlement costs on Ethereum. Participants in the network can take on several roles:
This structure is aimed at supporting web3 projects that rely on ZK technology for scalability, privacy, and interoperability. By allowing multiple hardware types to contribute, Cysic creates a framework where both large and small participants can take part in proof generation.
Cysic is co-founded by Xiong (Leo) Fan and Bowen Huang. According to LinkedIn, Leo has experience as a cryptography researcher at Algorand and served as an assistant professor at Rutgers University before co-founding Cysic in 2022. Bowen, based in New Haven, Connecticut, is listed on Crunchbase as a co-founder and attended Yale University. Together, they bring academic and industry backgrounds in cryptography and blockchain to the development of Cysic Network.
Cysic secured the Cysic.xyz domain for its online presence. .XYZ is a common choice among blockchain and web3 projects seeking a short, flexible, and forward-facing domain name. For Cysic, the choice of Cysic.xyz aligns it with a growing community of innovators using .xyz to establish their platforms in cryptography, zero-knowledge systems, and decentralized infrastructure.

Side.xyz – GoDaddy customer – (France)
Builders combining AI and blockchain use .xyz domains to develop the next generation of decentralized platforms and tools. Decentralized platform GetOro.xyz aims to empower individuals to contribute private data to AI development. Ethereum Layer-2 network Ten.xyz aims to bring encrypted computation and AI agents to web3. Document authentication protocol Hashfire.xyz brings cryptographic verification and AI to decentralized finance. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a platform developing AI-Agent-Marketing infrastructure designed to drive real community growth in web3: Side.xyz.
Side.xyz is a platform introducing what it describes as the first AI-Agent-Marketing infrastructure for web3. The platform is designed to help projects build engaged communities by automating rewards, analyzing on-chain and off-chain behavior, and filtering out bots or spammers. SIDE frames its mission as redefining web3 marketing through AI-driven automation and community data analysis to create lasting value.
According to its documentation, Side.xyz simplifies Web3 marketing by combining AI automation with data insights. Projects create a token-based reward pool, integrate the AI-Agent into platforms such as Telegram, and define the behaviors they want to incentivize. The AI-Agent then monitors community activity, distributes daily micro-airdrops, and announces rewards in real time. These functions are designed to encourage behaviors such as token holding, participation in group discussions, and content creation. The platform also employs multiple bot-detection measures, aiming to ensure that incentives benefit real contributors rather than spammers. SIDE positions these offerings as an alternative to short-term approaches that rely on vanity metrics.
Side.xyz is co-founded by Tugan Bara and Niko Apollo. Together, Tugan and Niko co-authored the book Token Titans: How to Build Experiences, Communities and Protocols. 1 As shared in their Amazon author bios, Tugan is an educator and contrarian thinker in the French marketing space who has taught tens of thousands of entrepreneurs and helped create several tech startups, including AI-powered content repurposing tool, sales funnel platform Frog, and content creator platform Bonzai. He transitioned into web3 in 2019 and has since worked on community-focused projects, most recently Side.xyz. Niko’s background includes scaling e-learning companies with global partners before applying similar methods to web3 marketing and operations.
Side.xyz makes great use of the .xyz domain extension, which is widely adopted among blockchain and AI innovators. The domain provides a concise and memorable online identity that aligns with their focus on building next-generation tools for community engagement. Using .xyz places the project within a growing ecosystem of forward-looking ventures that use the extension for visibility and connection with audiences in the web3 and AI fields.
