# kaal:position:2026-07-31-6009

**Affirmed position.** A systematic review of blockchain presents the following source proposition: Although many researchers have realized the importance of blockchain, the research of blockchain is still in its infancy. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that As of publication, no American or European court had recognized blockchain technology or scrutinized its applications, leaving it unclear how courts will treat the technology. 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.
