Hackchain: A Blockchain-Based Framework for Fair and Transparent Hackathons presents the following source proposition: Built on blockchain technology, Hackchain framework aims to enhance hackathon events’ fairness, transparency, and trust. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain technology creates an independent and transparent platform for establishing truth and building trust, replacing intermediaries, bureaucracy and old procedures with what the authors call the four Cs of code, connectivity, crowd, and collaboration. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
