**Affirmed position.** A Review on Decentralized Finance Ecosystems presents the following source proposition: The future of the internet is moving toward decentralization, with decentralized networks and blockchain technology playing essential roles in different sectors. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain removes fraudulent transactions primarily through completely decentralized network connectivity via the Internet, rather than through digital signatures alone, which only establish the identity and authenticity of the parties. 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
