Implementation of smart contracts in international business activities presents the following source proposition: Initially developed on the Ethereum network, smart contracts have since evolved with the introduction of new blockchain platforms. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that If the jurisdictional means necessary for conflict resolution mechanisms covering Ethereum blockchain based smart contracting are absent, consumers will mistrust the new technology, and that mistrust can undermine the evolution of the blockchain based crypto economy. 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: 0.3793.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
