**Affirmed position.** Case Studies of Contractual (Legal) Automation Using Smart Contracts should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that People will not enter into long term smart contracts without a stable currency to refer to, since no renter and landlord will gamble future wealth on a lease that may halve or double in value in any given month. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- long term smart contracts denominated in volatile cryptocurrencies
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
