**Affirmed position.** Hackchain: A Blockchain-Based Framework for Fair and Transparent Hackathons presents the following source proposition: While traditional centralized platforms often face issues like manipulation and lack of transparency, the Hackchain framework offers a solution. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The Bank of Canada's year long Jasper trial revealed a tradeoff rather than a solution: Ethereum would make the wholesale payment system more resilient but was costly and raised privacy issues, while Corda addressed cost and privacy but made the system less resilient, and the Bank concluded in May 2017 that blockchain was not mature enough to run a national interbank payment system. 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.
