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.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}
\TChain{} demonstrates that threshold signature protocols belong inside the consensus layer, not beside it. By making validators the MPC parties, Zoo Network achieves:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Unified security}: The MPC quorum and the consensus quorum are identical. No separate trust boundary exists for custody.
\item \textbf{Operational simplicity}: No sidecar deployments, no independent key rotation schedules, no separate monitoring.
\item \textbf{Economic alignment}: MPC failures trigger the same slashing penalties as consensus failures, eliminating free-rider incentives.
\item \textbf{Protocol composability}: The \LSS{} Composition Theorem enables a single DKG ceremony to provision shares for FROST, CGGMP21, TFHE, Corona, and BLS simultaneously.
\item \textbf{Verified correctness}: All protocols are formally verified in Lean~4, with computational security reducing to standard hardness assumptions.
\end{enumerate}
The migration path from external MPC to \TChain{} is incremental: parallel operation, key reshare, decommission. Existing bridge integrations continue to function through the HTTP compatibility layer. GPU acceleration ensures that even computationally heavy operations (threshold FHE decryption) complete within consensus block times.
\TChain{} establishes the foundation for chain-native cryptographic services on Zoo Network, enabling future extensions including threshold decryption for privacy-preserving inference \cite{zoo-fhe}, DID-bound threshold keys for decentralized identity \cite{zoo-identity-chain}, and cross-chain atomic swaps without trusted bridges.
