**Affirmed position.** Navigating the Blockchain Trilemma: A Review of Recent Advances and Emerging Solutions in Decentralization, Security, and Scalability Optimization presents the following source proposition: Despite significant advancements, achieving all three attributes simultaneously continues to elude most blockchain systems, often forcing trade-offs that limit their real-world applicability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain can only deliver decentralized AI governance if the blockchain trilemma is first overcome, since decentralization, security, and scalability cannot readily be achieved simultaneously within one network. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
