**Affirmed position.** Enforcing Control Flow Integrity on DeFi Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: Smart contracts power decentralized financial (DeFi) services but are vulnerable to security exploits that can lead to significant financial losses. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contract exploits are a live failure channel for LER, capable of producing losses on the scale of DeFi incidents that have exceeded $1 billion annually and requiring insurance premiums of one to two percent of asset value. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
