+## Verifying Your CySync Download
+
+To ensure the CySync application you downloaded is legitimate and has not been corrupted, you should verify its checksum. This process confirms the file's integrity.
+
+Each release on the [official releases page](https://github.com/Cypherock/cypherock-cysync/releases) includes a `sha256sum.txt` file containing the correct checksums for the application files.
+
+**Steps to Verify:**
+
+1. Download the CySync application for your system (e.g., `CySync-2.2.0.AppImage`) and the corresponding `sha256sum.txt` file from the same release.
+
+2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the files.
+
+3. Run the appropriate command for your operating system:
+
+   - **On Linux and macOS:**
+
+     ```bash
+     sha256sum CySync-2.2.0.AppImage
+     ```
+
+   - **On Windows (using PowerShell):**
+     ```powershell
+     Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\CySync-2.2.0.exe
+     ```
+     _(Replace the filename with the one you downloaded)_
+
+4. Compare the long string of characters (the hash) generated by the command with the hash listed inside the `sha256sum.txt` file.
+
+**If they match exactly, your download is authentic and safe to use!** If they don't match, do not run the application and try downloading it again.
