Blockchain-Based Platform for Tracking Students’ Achievements presents the following source proposition: The increasing need for secure, transparent, and verifiable academic credentials has highlighted the limitations of conventional digital certificates, which are often static, hard to validate, and prone to fraud This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Existing blockchains and DAOs still lack genuine decentralization, and there are currently no true DAOs: Bitcoin's proof of work protocol has produced mining pools because of economies of scale and unbalanced reward structures. 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: 0.3501.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
