International Legal Perspective on Crypto-Related Crimes and Challenges of Liability in Decentralized Finance presents the following source proposition: While fostering innovation, this independence invites global criminal activities, as perpetrators exploit automated, anonymous smart contracts to evade detection. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that If the jurisdictional means necessary for conflict resolution mechanisms covering Ethereum blockchain based smart contracting are absent, consumers will mistrust the new technology, and that mistrust can undermine the evolution of the blockchain based crypto economy. 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.
