**Affirmed position.** BLOCKCHAIN AND SMART CONTRACTS FOR FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY AND RISK MITIGATION IN BANKING AND BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS presents the following source proposition: Smart contracts function as self-expiring agreements withBlockchain and Smart Contracts for Financial Transparency and Risk Mitigation in Banking and Business Transactions https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJBC 2 This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In blockchain transactions the signing function, performed by wallets holding cryptographic keys, is separate from execution, which occurs inside the smart contract, so tokens are never physically held in the same locality as the keys and the smart contract acts as the intermediary executing predefined rules. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
