**Affirmed position.** 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.

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

**Holds when.**

- DAO structures with few or no supervisors
- 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.
