Governance and societal impact of blockchain-based self-sovereign identities presents the following source proposition: Traditionally, governments and companies store data to identify persons for services provision and interactions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The only condition for hosting a copy of the blockchain and participating in the network is a smartphone or Internet connection, which is why the technology can extend financial inclusion to those traditionally excluded from financial services. 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: 0.3914.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
