The Fiduciary Duties of Network Participants of Blockchain Systems should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Because of the value to effort focus of work flows in the DAO structure, supervision of management and the imposition of legal duties on management are less needed, since there are fewer or no supervisors, so the fiduciary duties on which the traditional regulatory infrastructure relies become less necessary. 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.

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