Comparison and Analysis of Governance Mechanisms Employed by Blockchain-Based Distributed Autonomous Organizations presents the following source proposition: Similarly, governance, i.e., changes to features and underlying source code, is achieved through a decentralized mechanism. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Fundamental flaws in the DAO's code allowed hackers to transfer one third of the total contributed funds to a subsidiary account, and this together with other technological limitations ended the initiative, but the authors argue it did not end the underlying vision of decentralized autonomous organization. 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.
