Decentralized Infrastructure of Micro-Credentials and Blockchain Technology presents the following source proposition: Higher education is being reshaped by technology and this ongoing change is seen in many layers of the educational environment. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Personal happiness, freedom and expression can thrive better in a decentralized world only on the condition that the decentralized world provides a secure environment, which is why blockchain platforms attract people. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.35.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
