zeekay f4ee7a0525 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

\begin{abstract}
We present Lux DAO, a production-grade modular governance framework built on the Azorius Protocol, designed for flexible and scalable decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) management. Deployed in October 2022 and significantly enhanced in June 2024, Lux DAO addresses critical challenges in blockchain governance through a composable architecture that separates concerns between proposal management, voting strategies, and execution mechanisms. The framework integrates ERC-4337 account abstraction for gasless voting, Hats Protocol for role-based access control, ERC-6551 token-bound accounts for payment streaming, and the Zodiac module pattern for Safe integration. Our implementation has been tested across multiple networks (Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, Sepolia) and demonstrates measurable improvements in governance flexibility, user experience, and operational efficiency compared to existing solutions like Aragon, Compound Governor, and Moloch DAO. This paper provides a technical analysis of the architecture, presents novel contributions to the DAO governance space, and evaluates real-world deployment outcomes.
