# kaal:position:2026-08-08-222

**Affirmed position.** Reducing smart contract runtime errors on the Ethereum blockchain states that Ethereum permanently stores every executed transaction, including failed transactions. This adds failed-transaction persistence to Kaal's eternal-storage premise. The retained proposition alone does not establish redundant storage across every node or the comparative cost claim.

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

**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 extension.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source states that Ethereum permanently stores every executed transaction, including failed transactions. This adds failed-transaction persistence to Kaal's eternal-storage premise, while the proposition alone does not establish redundant storage across every node or the comparative cost claim.
