zooqueen ebe2ebcb3c papers: retire boschini2024corona key -> ringtail (third-party prior art); fix Pulsar/Corona/Ringtail provenance + lattice labels
Ringtail (Boschini et al., ePrint 2024/1113) is third-party prior art; Lux's
Corona (Ring-LWE = Module-LWE rank-1) builds on it; Pulsar is Module-LWE rank-k.
Retired the conflated boschini2024corona/corona2024/coronago/... bib keys to the
single canonical ringtail/corona/pulsar/magnetar keys, rewrote \cite + \bibitem
by context, and fixed 'Pulsar (Ring-LWE)' mislabels (Corona where corona.metal/
single-ring/Ringtail-derived; Pulsar where Module-LWE rank-k/ML-DSA). Cryptographer-led.

\begin{abstract}
We present \textbf{M-Chain}, a purpose-built blockchain for decentralized multi-party computation (MPC) custody of cross-chain assets. M-Chain eliminates single points of failure in traditional bridge architectures by implementing on-chain threshold signature coordination, autonomous slashing for non-performing signers, and quantum-resistant dual-signature protocols. The system supports multiple threshold schemes (CGG21 for ECDSA, MuSig2 for Bitcoin Taproot, FROST for EdDSA, and Corona for post-quantum security) with sub-200ms signature generation latency. M-Chain introduces the \textbf{SwapSigTx} transaction type, providing cryptographic proof that a threshold quorum has authorized a cross-chain transfer, replacing centralized swap databases with auditable on-chain logic. Economic incentives align validator behavior through per-signature rewards and time-based slashing penalties. We demonstrate custody of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRPL assets with $>$99.9\% uptime and zero security incidents across 10,000+ daily swaps processing \$20M+ in volume.
