**Affirmed position.** Crypto-Anarchy and Stateless Economies: Legal Implications of Decentralized Political Systems should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that ICO sale terms are not fixed at launch: promoters can alter the smart contract to change the sales rules mid course during an offering, a risk factor for retail investors that has no analogue in a registered offering. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain governance, 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.**

- ICOs administered through promoter controlled smart contracts
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
