Introduction to the Special Issue on Intelligent Applications of Web 3.0 and Metaverse for Connected Autonomous Vehicles: Part 2 should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Posting cryptocurrency to escrow like smart contracts is often uneconomic compared with traditional financial instruments, and this inefficiency undermines the practical utility of smart contracts as a vehicle for consideration, especially in high value or long term agreements. 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.
