Governance and Value Creation in Blockchain Platforms for Governance and Value Creation in Blockchain Platforms for Financial Inclusion Financial Inclusion should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The only condition for hosting a copy of the blockchain and participating in the network is a smartphone or Internet connection, which is why the technology can extend financial inclusion to those traditionally excluded from financial services.
