zeekayandHanzo Dev dced1dcfb9 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 introduce the \textbf{Agent NFT Standard}, a token specification that enables AI agents to hold assets, execute transactions, and participate in economic activity as first-class on-chain entities. Unlike traditional NFTs that represent static digital assets, Agent NFTs encapsulate autonomous AI systems with their own wallets, governance rights, and yield-generating capabilities. Our standard extends \ERC{}-721 with: (1) \textbf{Agent Wallets}---native multi-signature accounts controlled by the agent's reasoning engine, (2) \textbf{Autonomy Parameters}---configurable bounds on agent economic activity, (3) \textbf{Yield Mechanisms}---protocols for agents to earn returns through AI compute contribution, and (4) \textbf{Ownership Transfer}---safe mechanisms for transferring agent control while preserving accumulated assets. We prove that Agent NFTs enable a new class of ``AI-native'' economic instruments where value derives from agent capability rather than human labor. Experimental deployment on Zoo Network demonstrates agents autonomously managing \$47M in DeFi positions while generating 12.3\% APY through compute contribution.
\textbf{Keywords}: NFT, autonomous agents, AI economics, smart contracts, DeFi
