Fully-automated liberalism? Blockchain technology and international cooperation in an anarchic world presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technology is a data structure that enables global governance stakeholders to establish decentralized governance systems which provide high-powered incentives for enhanced cooperation. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain technology enables managers to charge per-transaction fees, which undermines the existing 2 and 20 fee model, because it allows fully automated allocation of the correct fee to each executed trade without manual reconciliation or settlement. 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.
