Quorum

The minimum percentage of total voting power (or token supply) that must participate in a governance vote for it to be valid. Without quorum, even a unanimous 'yes' vote cannot pass a proposal. Quorum requirements prevent small groups from passing proposals when most holders are not paying attention. Typical DeFi quorum requirements are 1-10% of circulating supply, adjusted based on the sensitivity of the decision.
