Blockchain-based platforms: Decentralized infrastructures and its boundary conditions presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technology has been receiving much public attention recently, promising to disintermediate transactions through decentralized governance and distributed data-infrastructures. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Distributed networks disintermediate: because validation is distributed, a centralized validating entity such as a central bank or clearing house is not necessary to record and validate transactions. 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: 0.4048.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
