# Tokenomics

## Mission

Cysic is building the ComputeFi platform that turns computing resources into verifiable, tokenized on-chain assets. The CYS token underpins this ecosystem by aligning incentives between users, compute providers, governance participants, and contributors, all working toward equitable global access to trustless computing.

Basic information about Cysic token launch:

* Token name: Cysic (CYS)
* Total Token Supply: 1,000,000,000 CYS
* Token Launch Date: Q4, 2025
* Airdrop Claim Availability: Coincides with TGE

## CYS Token Utility

CYS serves as the foundational asset of the Cysic, unlocking three fundamental rights critical to decentralized compute infrastructure:

#### 1. Governance Right

CYS holders can stake tokens to mint CGT (Cysic Governance Token). CGT grants rights to:

* Vote and propose on protocol upgrades and economic parameters.
* Elect block producers and validator nodes.
* Manage community funds and grant proposals.

#### 2. Compute Right

CYS enables permissionless access to computing tasks:

* Compute providers reserve CYS to run provers, AI nodes, or other computing tasks.
* Task executions are prioritized based on stake and performance.
* Supports dynamic incentives tied to real-world workloads (ZK proofs, inference jobs).

#### 3. Financial Right

CYS aligns rewards among:

* Compute Providers: Earn yield by supplying hardware or running workloads.
* Stakers: Earn yield by staking their CYS tokens to secure the consensus mechanism of Cysic Network.
* Contributors: Participate in mainnet, campaigns, or community building for retroactive rewards

#### Vesting Summary

* Investors: 12-month cliff + 12-month linear
* Contributors: 12-month cliff + 36-month linear
* Foundation: 12-month cliff + 24-month linear

Locked tokens cannot be staked until vested.

## Ending Remarks

Demand for CYS grows as the Cysic Network scales, because the token directly powers governance, compute access, and economic rewards within the decentralized compute economy.&#x20;

#### 1. Compute activity increases demand for CYS

Every workload executed on Cysic. ZK proofs, AI inference, or batch compute jobs requires CYS to be staked or reserved by providers. More compute results in more CYS locked in the network.&#x20;

#### 2. Compute prioritization is tied to CYS

Operators stake CYS to run provers, GPU/ASIC nodes, or specialized hardware. Higher stake and performance translate into better task priority and higher earnings, linking CYS demand directly to real world compute usage.&#x20;

#### 3. Governance requires CYS

CYS holders stake tokens to mint CGT, which grants rights to propose and vote on upgrades, adjust economic parameters, elect validators, and manage treasury programs. As ecosystem activity grows, so does governance participation and demand for staking.&#x20;

#### 4. Rewards flow through CYS

CYS is the backbone of network incentives. Compute providers earn CYS for supplying hardware, stakers earn CYS for securing consensus, and contributors receive CYS for participating in mainnet and ecosystem initiatives. More participants expand overall reward demand.&#x20;

#### 5. Real-world workloads reinforce CYS utility

Cysic’s value capture is tied to verifiable compute, not speculative loops. Growth in AI inference, ZK proof generation, and outsourced compute increases fee generation, validator revenue, and provider payouts all of which require or circulate through CYS.<br>
