**Affirmed position.** Dividend or No Dividend in Delegated Blockchain Governance: A Game Theoretic Analysis should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Supervisory tasks traditionally performed by principals to control their agents can be delegated to decentralized computer networks that are reliable, secure, immutable, and independent of fallible human input and discretionary human goodwill. 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.**

- assumes a functioning decentralized network
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
