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 a unified threshold cryptographic framework for omnichain asset custody
deployed in the Lux Teleport bridge protocol. The framework integrates two complementary
threshold signature schemes---FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) for
Ed25519 and BIP-340 Taproot chains, and CGGMP21 for threshold ECDSA on secp256k1
chains---to provide native signature verification on every major blockchain without
on-chain multisig overhead. FROST covers 12 chain families (Solana, TON, Sui, Aptos,
Cosmos, Polkadot, NEAR, Stellar, Cardano, Algorand, Tezos, Bitcoin Taproot) with
2-round signing producing standard 64-byte Schnorr signatures. CGGMP21 covers 5 chain
families (Ethereum and all EVM chains, TRON, XRPL, StarkNet, legacy Bitcoin) with
identifiable abort producing standard 65-byte ECDSA signatures. Both protocols share a
common distributed key generation (DKG) phase with no trusted dealer, a proactive key
refresh mechanism that rotates shares without changing the public key, and a 7-day
timelocked signer rotation with on-chain visibility. We prove unforgeability under
$t-1$ static corruption for both protocols in the random oracle model, give a formal
composition theorem establishing that the dual-protocol system maintains security when
sharing infrastructure, and present gas cost measurements for signature verification
across 17 chain families. The system is implemented in Go at
\texttt{github.com/luxfi/threshold} and \texttt{github.com/luxfi/mpc}, deployed in
production securing cross-chain assets on Lux Teleport.
