Towards Governance and Dispute Resolution for DLT and Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: At the same time, node operators that have no control over the content stored on their nodes might be held legally responsible. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Chainlink's white-list response to the 2020 gas fee attack was only a temporary fix: had the attack impacted 50 percent of Chainlink node operators, the price feed would not have updated until enough nodes returned. 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: 0.5165.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
