**Affirmed position.** Extending Usability Heuristics for Blockchain Applications: A Domain-Specific Framework for Enhanced Evaluation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Usability is the most important decentralized infrastructure requirement: without intuitive graphic user interfaces, decentralized systems may not reach mainstream consumer adoption, because requiring users to manage public and private keys and their own security makes sufficient public education very difficult. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, 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.**

- mainstream consumer adoption of decentralized protocols in daily life
- 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.
