Role of Smart Contracts in Blockchain presents the following source proposition: Smart contracts and Blockchain enhance transparency and trust among players, while reducing infrastructure, transaction and administrative expenses. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Automating smart contracts under the code is law paradigm incentivizes unethical behavior by enabling anonymous, opportunistic action, which reduces repeat business and undermines the minimization of transaction costs. 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: 0.3896.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
