Executive Summary

The partner is responsible for manufacturing and selling several Cysic-designed hardware products, and Dogebox is one of them. Dogebox is a purpose-built mining device designed by Cysic and brought to market through a dedicated hardware partner, keeping the hardware supply chain open and market-driven while allowing Cysic to focus on protocol design, hardware architecture, and ecosystem growth.

A portion of Dogebox's commercial profits will be directed to support ongoing R&D in Cysic's hardware design and to accelerate ecosystem building, including tooling, integrations, and developer/community initiatives that expand adoption of Cysic's ComputeFi network. In parallel, the manufacturing partner continues to work closely with Cysic on future hardware programs, including next-generation designs and potential zero-knowledge (ZK)-related hardware to further improve performance, efficiency, and accessibility for verifiable compute workloads.

Beyond mining, Dogebox is built to function as a hardware node for the Cysic network. Each unit can participate in core network functions such as casting votes on network actions and governance processes, performing lightweight edge computation workloads where appropriate, and validating the Cysic network state root—strengthening correctness and liveness guarantees at the network edge.

Dogebox’s built-in DOGE/LTC mining capability is designed to make node participation sustainable in practice: the mined DOGE/LTC coins can offset electricity costs, so node runners can contribute to the Cysic network without needing to pay ongoing out-of-pocket bills to keep their node online. Dogebox is, in short, a practical bridge between real-world hardware economics and verifiable network participation—turning a mining device into a self-sustaining, always-on node that supports Cysic’s long-term decentralization.
