**Affirmed position.** A Decade in Review: The Progression, Challenges, and Future of Decentralized Applications (DApps) presents the following source proposition: Over the past decade, decentralized applications (dApps) have emerged as a disruptive force, reshaping the landscape of digital innovation and redefining traditional paradigms of application development and deployment. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that RegLegalTech startups will force the legal profession to innovate, but that task is not easily accomplished by overextended and cumbersome legal organizations that have lost the capacity for agile reinvention. 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.
