"MCP Does Not Stand for Misuse Cryptography Protocol": Uncovering Cryptographic Misuse in Model Context Protocol at Scale should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that ICOs are preferable to venture capital funding for many start-ups first and foremost because ICO promoters and their developers are not forced to sacrifice equity in the project in exchange for the funds they raise. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through model context protocol, 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.
