Decentralization Through Tokenization presents the following source proposition: By delegating control to users, tokenization through utility tokens acts as a commitment device that prevents a platform from exploiting users. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Adoption of decentralized data platforms is blocked by an expertise barrier: prospective contributors must manage tokens, maintain secure wallets, and understand the underlying technology, which deters users unaccustomed to digital assets. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
