**Affirmed position.** Blockchain governance: innovating sustainable energy financing in Global South should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized legal infrastructure solutions were almost entirely missing in the early 2020s despite strong demand, because other prerequisite decentralized infrastructure products, notably a functional public blockchain, were still missing. 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.**
