**Affirmed position.** Improving resistance to Sybil attacks in decentralized networks using the RTCT protocol ⋆ should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Unlike its decentralized competitors, the Semada Protocol is claimed to be resistant to both Sybil attacks and Tyranny of the Majority attacks. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through Sybil resistance, 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.**

- comparison with existing decentralized mechanical turk protocols
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: high-confidence claim review.
- The primary literature-to-claim mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test.
