The Web3 evolution presents the following source proposition: It explains how these innovations return control to the individual, redefining digital ownership, identity, and participation. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The funding sources for digital asset and blockchain startups cycled through four stages since 2016 and 2017: equity funding, then initial coin offerings, then equity offerings, then initial exchange offerings, and back to equity funding by the early 2020s. 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: 0.3537.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
