**Affirmed position.** Token-based Voting Systems states that concave transformations can map token holdings into votes while preserving participation incentives and compressing excessive voting power. This extends Kaal's non-linear microdemocratic allocation mechanism with a token-weight transformation. The abstract proposition does not establish equivalence to capped priority allocation or report comparative voting outcomes.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
