**Affirmed position.** Distributed Ledger Technologies (Blockchain) Ecosystem and Decentralization presents the following source proposition: An overview of blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) including consensus, PoW, PoS, dBFT, DAG, smart contracts, Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple, Hashgraph Hedera, tokens, tokenomics, cryptocurrencies, ICO... This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Distributed ledger technologies are particularly capable of increasing trust among charitable organizations, sponsors, and beneficiaries, because the technology enables real time tracking of the donation supply chain. 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.
