**Affirmed position.** Post-Quantum Cryptography and Blockchain Governance: A Comparative Risk Analysis of Bitcoin and Ethereum should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Trust and security in digital financial systems and decentralized networks cannot survive the arrival of quantum computing without quantum resistant cryptographic protocols, making the shift to quantum safe cryptography a precondition for the quantum economy rather than an optional upgrade. 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.**

- Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
- 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.
