Reducing blockchain transaction costs in a distributed energy market application presents the following source proposition: An Ethereum smart contract is employed as a core component of the application, facilitating a marketplace for transacting electrical energy.
\n
\nA design science research methodology was applied to the application in an attempt to further develop it. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The low transaction throughput of public blockchains is a core limitation that holds back more advanced distributed applications, which is why decentralized commerce in 2019 remains relegated to cryptocurrency trading and basic smart contracting. 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: 0.3525.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
