The DAO between the nation-state and the network state presents the following source proposition: As nation-states grapple with the impact of (post-)globalization and technological innovation, increasing attention is being paid to blockchain technology's potential to enable the emergence of new governance structures, such as decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and network states. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that DAOs without effective governance structures and policies risk violating local laws and regulations, exposing themselves to legal and regulatory consequences. 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.
