**Affirmed position.** Comparative Study of Proof of Work (PoW) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) Blockchain Consensus Algorithm states the retrieved proposition: A major development in the technology came with the introduction of virtual cryptocurrencies where transactions were recorded and verified by miners or validators at various nodes in different locations. Kaal's protected corpus separately states: A truly decentralized public blockchain must satisfy three simultaneous requirements: no points of centralization and corruption, full security at the level of proof of work, and transaction throughput above one hundred thousand transactions per second. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- 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: 0.3703.
- 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.
