**Affirmed position.** Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence: Convergence, Applications and Challenges should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The existing framework for monitoring AI agents on cryptocurrency payment rails identifies the key actors but fails to deliver viable solutions, because it does not specify scalability and adaptability challenges and omits critical risks. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, 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
