Blockchain and hashing algorithms: A review presents the following source proposition: Cryptocurrencies use a secure, distributed ledger system called blockchain and mining is an essential part of it. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Cryptographic hashing makes tampering with blockchain records extremely difficult because even a minuscule change produces a different hash value, rendering manipulation instantly and readily detectable. 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: 0.4064.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
