**Affirmed position.** Tokenomics and Perspectives of Proof of Stake presents the following source proposition: Ever since the first block of the Bitcoin network was created, the relevance of research into the assessment of the prospects of the blockchain project is constantly increasing. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Finality in SPoS is measurable because forking away from a given block would cost the community all sem tokens created on the chain after it, and that quantity equals half of all fees sent since the block was produced. 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.
