Governance Transformation: Establishing Scalable and Adaptable Decentralized Network on EVM-Compatible Blockchain presents the following source proposition: However, the principal advantages are compromised if the system requires continual redeployment to adapt to environmental changes. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain provides an alternative governance mechanism that eliminates agency costs, meaning the principal's cost of supervising agents, by creating trust in the contractual relationship between principal and agent. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
