**Affirmed position.** Role of Smart Contracts in Blockchain presents the following source proposition: This chapter covers the introduction to Blockchain technology along with its characteristics and types. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In insurance, smart contracts that automate verification and settlement reduce administrative costs and increase both the speed and the accuracy of claims processing. 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.
