Decentralizing governance: exploring the dynamics and challenges of digital commons and DAOs should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Quadratic voting remains open to manipulation and strategic voting, and it depends on a robust and transparent voting system to count votes accurately.

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