**Affirmed position.** Navigating governance challenges in public blockchain protocols: insights from Hayek and Habermas presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technology has experienced remarkable growth since its inception in 2008, but its success has not come without challenges. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Applying blockchain to corporate governance requires the relevant authorities, who most likely understand the governance use case but not the technology, to reach consensus on how and when to implement it. 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.
