Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "Gas on Ethereum retro blockchains affects protocol transacti…": 10% covered — No source directly addresses gas on Ethereum retro blockchains or their effect on protocol transaction costs. The gathered sources discuss Ethereum gas limits, settlement latency, stablecoins, and agent payments, but none mention 'retro blockchains' or their impact.

Re-evaluate

Coverage is very low (0.1). Skipped sources from crypto news outlets (Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, Coinbase Blog, Decrypt) are affordable (0.002-0.003 each) and likely to cover Ethereum-related news including retro blockchains and gas costs. Remaining budget is 0.02, so buying all four (total 0.009) is feasible and may fill the gap.
