Innovative use cases of blockchain in IOT, with particular emphasis on decentralised data marketplaces presents the following source proposition: IoT has transformed businesses by way of enabling seamless connectivity and facts generation. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain-based smart contracts in digital marketplaces are the technology most likely to extend and lead the decentralization of the relationship between businesses and their counterparties. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
