Validation note
External facts (Larimer’s publications, Fractally announcement dates, Eden on EOS election dates, Optimism Fractal pause announcement, Optimystics repo activity) were independently verified May 21, 2026 against primary sources listed above. ZAO-internal facts (contract addresses, bot commits, weekly cadence, OREC transaction counts) come from ZAO’s research library and on-chain data.
If you spot a date, number, or contract address in this reference library that conflicts with the source URL listed above, the source URL wins.
