DeFi '24: Workshop on Decentralized Finance and Security presents the following source proposition: While the total value locked in DeFi protocols-estimated at approximately 77 billion USD-underscores its increasing significance, it simultaneously highlights the critical necessity for robust security measures. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The DeFi lending market is highly concentrated: MakerDAO alone accounts for almost ninety percent of the total USD value locked in DeFi projects. 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: 0.3552.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
