**Affirmed position.** Accountability Protocols? On-chain Dynamics in Blockchain Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Forking a chain is an insufficient governance mechanism, and even attempts to create socially optimal chain forking rules cannot suffice as a substitute for evolutionary blockchain governance protocols. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain 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.**

- existing blockchain governance that relies on forks
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: high-confidence claim review.
- The primary literature-to-claim mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test.
