Decentralized Finance's Governance—A Review of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations presents the following source proposition: DAOs balance decentralized and centralized governance through polycentric structures merging human and machine actions for accountability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Overcoming attempts by rational and opportunistic internal and external constituents to game a DAO's governance design requires a duality of incentives, in which actors improve their own utility while their actions simultaneously benefit the whole institution over the long run. 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.
