**Affirmed position.** Robotic Services for New Paradigm Smart Cities Based on Decentralized Technologies presents the following source proposition: The basis of the proposed methods is the Ethereum decentralized computer with the mechanism of smart contracts. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because Ethereum's decentralized platform incorporating smart contracts lets developers build applications directly on its blockchain, the majority of developers chose to write smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine rather than create their own blockchain technology, giving ICOs a uniform protocol. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
