**Affirmed position.** A402: Binding Cryptocurrency Payments to Service Execution for Agentic Commerce should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that It is the completely decentralized network connectivity via the internet, not blockchain's digital signatures, that provides the greatest protection against fraud, because connectivity puts multiple copies of the chain in the hands of all participants. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through agentic commerce, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
