Retraction Notice: Review on the methods involved in Blockchain Technology presents the following source proposition: This is largely because it allows mutually distrustful organizations to exchange information without relying on the financial value of trusted third parties and interacting parties. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that It is the completely decentralized network connectivity via the internet, not blockchain's digital signatures, that provides the greatest protection against fraud, because connectivity puts multiple copies of the chain in the hands of all participants. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3767.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
