**Affirmed position.** The role of DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) applications in the modern business environment presents the following source proposition: Οι αποκεντρωμένοι αυτόνομοι οργανισμοί (DAO) είναι οντότητες που αξιοποιούν blockchain, ψηφιακά στοιχεία ενεργητικού και σχετικές τεχνολογίες για την ανάπτυξη πόρων, τον συντονισμό δραστηριοτήτων και τη λήψη αποφάσεων. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In a decentralized autonomous organization a series of smart contracts grants token holders voting rights, so the blockchain-based smart contract performs the function that articles of incorporation or bylaws perform in a conventional company. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
