# kaal:position:2026-07-31-085

**Affirmed position.** Voting Schemes in DAO Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that At their worst, DAOs produce ponzi schemes and rug pulls, and these failures damage the credibility and future of web3 as a whole, not just the individual project. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through DAO governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: high-confidence claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
