A Blockchain-Based Approach to Trust System Design in Multi-Agent Environments presents the following source proposition: The developed system, TrustLedger, is based on Ethereum smart contracts, ERC-20 tokens, and token-weighted voting mechanisms. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that In a DAO, blockchain-based smart contracts granting token holders voting rights perform the function that articles of association or bylaws perform in a conventional corporation. 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: 0.5376.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
