**Affirmed position.** Designing a Blockchain Model for the Paris Agreement’s Carbon Market Mechanism should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The data mining that produces scarcity in existing blockchains also slows creation, so high speed transactions cannot be achieved for the foreseeable future without a different consensus design. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- proof of work style mining that manufactures scarcity
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
