Decentralized autonomous organizations as an innovative form of economic cooperation in the digital society presents the following source proposition: The possibilities of<br> blockchain applications have already begun to go beyond digital finance and are increasingly being used<br> for the decentralized organization of communities and participants in digital partnerships. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Fundamental flaws in the DAO's code allowed hackers to transfer one third of the total contributed funds to a subsidiary account, and this together with other technological limitations ended the initiative, but the authors argue it did not end the underlying vision of decentralized autonomous organization. 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.
