Beyond Airbnb: Exploring Decentralized Short-Term Rentals with Ethereum and IOTA should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Peer governance substitutes for platform gatekeeping: rather than convincing legacy technology leaders and their platforms, developer teams engage their own peers in the Shasper DAO to discuss and vote on proposed upgrades and testnet projects. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
