Extension: Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) and the Legal Nature of Smart Contracts

Record: kaal:position:2026-07-31-6024 · 2026-07-31

Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) and the Legal Nature of Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: DAO는 Decentralized Autonomous Organization의 약자로 ‘Dao’로 발음된다. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The immutability of blockchain ledgers is itself a vulnerability, because once a DAO is in operation its essential construction is very difficult to alter should a bug in the code appear. 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: 0.5121.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
