**Affirmed position.** Shill bidding prevention in decentralized auctions using smart contracts presents the following source proposition: In online auctions, fraudulent behaviors such as shill bidding pose significant risks. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Technology platforms can make launch abuses less likely by mandating fair auctions in which tokens are released only in tranches, offering a limited number of tokens for a limited number of days, which makes rug pulls overall less likely. 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.
