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. Co-authored-by: Hanzo Dev <[email protected]>

\begin{abstract}
|

We present \TChain{} (\ThresholdVM{}), a chain-native threshold signature subsystem for Zoo Network that eliminates the need for external multi-party computation (MPC) services. \TChain{} embeds \FROST{} (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold signatures), \CGGMP{} (threshold ECDSA with identifiable abort), and Linear Secret Sharing (\LSS{}) directly into the validator set, so that validators \emph{are} the MPC parties. All keygen, signing, and reshare operations execute as on-chain transactions secured by consensus, removing the operational burden of sidecar MPC deployments. We describe the architecture of \ThresholdVM{}, the RPC surface (\texttt{threshold\_keygen}, \texttt{threshold\_sign}, \texttt{threshold\_reshare}), the session management layer, and the security guarantees that follow from coupling threshold cryptography with stake-weighted consensus. We prove $t$-of-$n$ unforgeability under the Discrete Logarithm assumption for \FROST{} and under the Strong RSA and DDH assumptions for \CGGMP{}, and show how the \LSS{} Composition Theorem allows \FROST{}, CMP, TFHE, Corona, and BLS protocols to share a single access structure. Formal verification of all protocols is carried out in Lean~4 (see \texttt{Crypto/FROST.lean}, \texttt{Crypto/Threshold/CGGMP21.lean}, \texttt{Crypto/Threshold/LSS.lean}, \texttt{Crypto/Threshold/Composition.lean}). We report on the migration path from external MPC StatefulSets to \TChain{}, including an HTTP compatibility layer for existing bridge integrations, and benchmark GPU-accelerated FHE operations within the threshold decryption pipeline.
