The role of DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) applications in the modern business environment presents the following source proposition: Οι DAO προσπαθούν να αποκεντρώσουν τη λειτουργία των εταιρειών και άλλων συλλογικών οντοτήτων καθιστώντας τις λειτουργικές και οικονομικές πληροφορίες διαφανείς και παρέχοντας την εξουσία στα μέλη που διαθέτουν αδειοδοτικά (token) να προτείνουν, να ψηφίζουν και να θεσπίζουν αλλαγές. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
