Representative profile images

When no reliably licensed portrait was found, the directory uses a clearly labeled network mark—not a synthetic or potentially misidentified portrait. billy-markus.webp and jackson-palmer.webp derive from the MIT-licensed Dogecoin mark; raj-gokal.webp from the CC0 Solana mark; and erik-zhang.webp from the public-domain simple Neo mark. Source and license links appear in the network-mark table below.
