**Affirmed position.** A Systematic Literature Review on Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms’ Security: Applications and Open Challenges presents the following source proposition: | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain transactions will always be expensive whether or not proof of stake is solved, because full participation requires downloading the entire transaction history to verify validity, an extreme redundancy that cannot be removed. The proposed response is an agreement: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
