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 present the dual-layer consensus architecture of the Zoo Network (chain ID 200200): \Quasar{} for block consensus and \PoAI{} for AI compute verification. \Quasar{}, inherited from the Lux Network, provides deterministic finality in 10ms with $O(n)$ message complexity, making it the fastest BFT consensus protocol deployed in production. \PoAI{} operates as a verification overlay that attests to the correctness of AI compute contributions---inference, training, and data processing---performed by Zoo Network validators. The dual-layer design separates concerns: \Quasar{} handles transaction ordering and block production with sub-second finality, while \PoAI{} handles compute quality assessment with epoch-based evaluation. We benchmark the combined system on Zoo testnet with 21 validators and 500 GPU workers, demonstrating 10.9ms combined finality (10ms \Quasar{} + 0.9ms \PoAI{} overhead), 4.76M TPS sustained throughput, and 98.2\% of validator compute devoted to useful AI work. We compare against single-layer alternatives and show that the dual-layer approach achieves 15\% higher useful compute utilization without sacrificing consensus safety or liveness.
