**Affirmed position.** A Systematic Literature Review on Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms’ Security: Applications and Open Challenges presents the following source proposition: This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) of blockchain consensus mechanisms, an essential protocols that maintain the integrity, reliability, and decentralization of distributed ledger networks. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Recentralization is the central obstacle to using blockchain and distributed ledger technology to govern AI: the recentralizing tendency of these networks interferes with their capacity to deliver effective AI governance. 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
