**Affirmed position.** DECENTRALIZATION ANALYSIS BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY RELATED PROJECTS presents the following source proposition: The work of blockchain technology can be used to reduce the costs associated with making decision and improve the efficiency of implementation by means of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) which are the products of decentralization management. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The decentralized power structure is supposed to encourage cooperation, free information flow, and decision-making that escapes top-down hierarchy, but with few exceptions the current state of DAOs does not deliver this. 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
