zeekayandHanzo Dev 178febad68 papers: reconcile T-Chain -> M-Chain / F-Chain / B-Chain per LP-134
Every rendered "T-Chain" / "ThresholdVM" / "teleportvm" reference across
the paper corpus is rewritten to the correct canonical chain by concern:
threshold signing / MPC / bridge custody / key recovery -> M-Chain (MVM);
FHE / encrypted compute / threshold decryption -> F-Chain (FVM); teleport
/ cross-chain messaging -> B-Chain (bridgevm); consensus Pulsar stays
Q-Chain. Section lux-trust-kernel/03-t-chain-threshold-governance.tex
renamed -> 03-f-chain-encrypted-policy.tex (with \input + xref fixes).
Braided "T-Chain" sections split by concern (M vs F). Only lp-020's
chain-separation rationale and the shared lux/chains/thresholdvm library
path retain the name, to record the removal. All changed papers rebuilt
(pdflatex, rc=0, no undefined refs).

ยง09 of lux-dao-governance-framework reframed: fabricated "production
deployment" metrics ($50M/$240k/$12M, survey %s, "as of Oct 2024")
relabeled as illustrative design configurations with no invented
replacements; reality noted (DAO treasury is a 1/1 Safe); conclusion
echo + one "first production" overclaim softened.

This commit also captures concurrent corpus workstreams on the same tree.

\section{Security and Attack Prevention}
\subsection{Governance Attack Vectors}
\textbf{Common Attacks}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{51\% Attack}: Attacker acquires majority voting power
\item \textbf{Sybil Attack}: Creating multiple fake identities to inflate voting power
\item \textbf{Bribery Attack}: Paying voters to vote particular way
\item \textbf{Flash Loan Attack}: Borrowing tokens temporarily to vote
\item \textbf{Front-Running}: Observing vote outcomes and acting before execution
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{Mitigation Strategies}
\textbf{1. Time-Locked Staking}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Tokens must be staked for $\geq$ 7 days before gaining voting power
\item Prevents flash loan attacks
\item Snapshot voting power at proposal creation block
\end{itemize}
\textbf{2. Quadratic Voting}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Cost of $n$ votes: $n^2$ tokens
\item Reduces whale dominance
\item Makes vote buying less economically viable
\end{itemize}
\textbf{3. Validator Verification}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Validators must prove stake and identity
\item Enhanced security through validator consensus
\item Slashing for malicious voting behavior
\end{itemize}
\textbf{4. Proposal Deposits}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Proposers stake 100-1000 LUX (refunded if approved)
\item Prevents spam proposals
\item Slashed if proposal determined malicious
\end{itemize}
\textbf{5. Emergency Pause}:
\begin{itemize}
\item 5-of-7 multisig can pause governance in emergency
\item Multisig controlled by trusted community members
\item Transparent 48-hour timelock on pause activation
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Post-Quantum Security}
Governance signatures use Quasar dual-certificate system:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Solidity,caption=Quantum-secure governance signature]
struct GovernanceSignature {
// Classical security (BLS aggregate)
bytes48 blsSignature;
// Quantum security (Pulsar lattice-based)
bytes pulsarSignature; // ~2.5KB
// Validator index in committee
uint16 validatorIndex;
// Proposal being signed
uint256 proposalId;
}
function verifyGovernanceVote(
GovernanceSignature calldata sig
) external view returns (bool) {
// Both signatures must verify
bool classicalValid = verifyBLS(sig);
bool quantumValid = verifyPulsar(sig);
return classicalValid && quantumValid;
}
\end{lstlisting}
