**2021**

- [3782198-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-034) [design/speculative] -- A decentralized banking DAO built on top of the Bitcoin ledger could charge a smaller fee to hold minor transactions temporarily and bundle them into a single larger Bitcoin transaction on the eternal blockchain.
  > A good idea for a DAO is a decentralized banking system built on top of the Bitcoin ledger that charges a smaller fee for temporarily storing minor trans- actions.

**2025**

- [5095633-028](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5095633-028) [condition/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Decentralized data annotation at scale is not operationally feasible without advances in consensus algorithms or layer-two scaling, because existing blockchain infrastructures cap transaction speed and network capacity.
  > existing blockchain infrastructures typically grapple with limits on transaction speed and network capacity. Continuous innovation in consensus algorithms, such as Proof of Stake or layer-two scaling solutions, is thus critical.
