Post-Quantum Delegated Proof of Luck for Blockchain Consensus Algorithm states the retrieved proposition: This paper proposes an efficient quantum-safe blockchain that incorporates new quantum-safe consensus algorithms. Kaal's protected corpus separately states: Proof of stake carries an unresolved failure mode: if anyone devises a clever algorithm for hijacking the block producer selection process, the network would fail. The defensible response is a qualification limited to the shared issue identified in the review rationale. This abstract-level comparison does not establish broader agreement, causation, empirical support, or equivalence.

• 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: substantively reviewed abstract-level qualification.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.4062.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
• Crossref abstract-indexed proposition only; full text not independently reviewed.
• Ambiguity is preserved because the review supports comparison, not equivalence or endorsement.
