Blockchain‐Based Innovation in Platforms for User‐Centricity and Transparency presents the following source proposition: Using an inductive methodology, the research analyzes in‐case and cross‐case data, supported by primary data from 22 respondents. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Well-capitalized centralized incumbents can outpace decentralized entrants in user acquisition by leveraging existing customer bases and brand recognition, so decentralized startups must show clear advantages in compensation, transparency, or data protection to win adoption. 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: 0.3551.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
