Ecosystem Implementations in Smart City through Blockchain Technology presents the following source proposition: It encapsulates smart governance, smart mobility, smart infrastructure, smart homes, smart streets and many more. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Without basic decentralized infrastructure products in place, on-chain governance of blockchains is not possible or is only limitedly possible, and the blockchain ecosystem may not be able to grow without a core decentralized infrastructure such as a functioning public blockchain to build on. 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.
