A Blockchain Ontology for DApps Development presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Applications, or DApps, provide distributed trusted applications that use blockchains. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The low transaction throughput of public blockchains is a core limitation that holds back more advanced distributed applications, which is why decentralized commerce in 2019 remains relegated to cryptocurrency trading and basic smart contracting. 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.
