**Affirmed position.** Blockchain and the Future of Dispute Resolution Decentralized Justice Systems presents the following source proposition: Standard means of conflict resolution whether through courts or arbitration/mediation bodies, regularly face questions of cost, delay, jurisdiction and transparency. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors stipulate distributed jurisdiction as a regulatory alternative in which conflict resolution for blockchain transactions is supplied by governance solutions inherent in the blockchain technology itself rather than by external legal authorities. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
