The Internet of Things (IoT): legal issues in the application of smart contracts presents the following source proposition: The analysis of using so-called smart contracts, which have become widespread in recent years. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts will become more prevalent as the Internet of Things grows, because the more devices are connected to each other, the more smart contracts will be used to execute and enforce legal transactions. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3551.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
