Token-based blockchain financing and governance: A transaction cost economics approach presents the following source proposition: Transaction cost economics (TCE) has been chosen as a theoretical perspective for the analysis. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Meaningful reputation in a business network removes the need for monitoring cost and lowers transaction costs by orders of magnitude. 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.
