Governance Adaptation in Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) presents the following source proposition: In a DAO, organizational governance rules are hardcoded in an immutable smart contract. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that DAOs are truly global borderless entities that coordinate agency relationships and limit liabilities via smart contracts, which is what positions them to address the identified flaws in the charitable giving process. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
