How Do Token Voting Weight Schemes Attempt to Balance Large and Small Holder Influence?

Schemes like quadratic voting or vote-escrow (veToken) models are used. Quadratic voting grants voting power based on the square root of the tokens held, giving smaller holders proportionally more influence. veToken models lock tokens for a period, granting greater voting power the longer the lock-up is, incentivizing long-term commitment over short-term whale influence.
