Decentralizing Merit: A Framework for Fair Content Evaluation on Blockchain Platforms should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Non-linear reward structures using weighting, tiers, or logarithmic curves counteract centralization of token supply by decentralizing disproportionate returns so that rewards do not scale linearly with the amount of liquidity a user holds. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
