Role of Smart Contracts in Blockchain presents the following source proposition: Decentralization, persistence, anonymity and auditability are important properties of Blockchain technology. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain removes fraudulent transactions primarily through completely decentralized network connectivity via the Internet, rather than through digital signatures alone, which only establish the identity and authenticity of the parties. 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: 0.3572.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
