**Affirmed position.** Undercollateralized Lending with Inverum DeFi Protocol presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) enables financial services to operate without centralized intermediaries, using smart contracts and blockchain consensus to ensure transparency and trust minimization. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain technology enables managers to charge per-transaction fees, which undermines the existing 2 and 20 fee model, because it allows fully automated allocation of the correct fee to each executed trade without manual reconciliation or settlement. 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.
