EXPRESS: Decoding Interdependent DApp Adoption Decisions: The Moderating Role of Governance Mechanisms on Blockchain Platforms should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Earlier centralized companies defeated more decentralized peer to peer platforms because of the technology of the time and the incentive design built into capitalist civilization: consumer devices could not match industrial upload speeds, centralized firms had the incentive to polish user interfaces, and economies of scale made central bureaucracy worth negotiating. 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.

• The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
