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.

\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
Over \$15 billion in assets are locked across cross-chain bridges, yet these assets earn zero yield---a capital inefficiency exceeding \$600 million per year in forgone staking and lending returns at prevailing rates.
We present the Lux Teleport Yield Protocol, a system that deploys locked bridge assets into yield-generating strategies on their source chains and reflects accrued yield in bridge token share prices on destination chains through ERC-4626-inspired share accounting.
The protocol defines a composable \texttt{IYieldStrategy} interface implemented by 29 strategies across 9 categories: liquid staking, restaking, lending, stablecoin yield, LP/DEX, Bitcoin-native yield, Solana DeFi, TON DeFi, and perpetuals.
We formalize share price dynamics, proving that the share price $p(t)$ is monotonically non-decreasing under non-negative yield and bounded below by the collateralization invariant $p(t) \geq 0.985$.
An MPC-attested backing oracle reports aggregate strategy positions at configurable intervals; if the attested backing falls below 98.5\% of outstanding shares, all bridge operations halt automatically.
We introduce a three-tier risk framework with per-tier allocation caps, analyze the xLUX economic flywheel where protocol fees compound across bridge, DEX, lending, perpetuals, and NFT AMM, and demonstrate that yield-bearing bridge tokens (yLETH, yLBTC, yLUSD) achieve 4.2--23\% APY compared to 0\% for conventional wrapped assets.
The Bitcoin-native yield composition---Babylon staking layered with restaking and DeFi---represents, to our knowledge, the first protocol enabling native BTC yield without custodial wrapping.
