**Affirmed position.** Code, Community, and Conflict presents the following source proposition: In addition, governance and operations are frequently—though not invariably—implemented using blockchain technology and smart contracts, adding further complexity. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that If the jurisdictional means necessary for conflict resolution mechanisms covering Ethereum blockchain based smart contracting are absent, consumers will mistrust the new technology, and that mistrust can undermine the evolution of the blockchain based crypto economy. 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.
