STUDY OF THE GOVERNANCE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY presents the following source proposition: Blockchain is an advanced product that stores data securely and reliably on the network, and several researchers in the field of blockchain, have expanded the capabilities and capabilities of the Bitcoin blockchain technology with the spread of the Ethereum blockchain platform, which added the capabilities of smart contracts to Bitcoin, smart contracts are Self-executing agreements are tokenized within the blockchain in the same way that users exchange bitcoins. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized autonomous organization is merely computer code with no directors, managers or employees, its governance structure built with software, code and smart contracts running on a public decentralized blockchain platform. 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.
