How Does a Minimum Quorum Requirement Protect against Low Voter Turnout?

A minimum quorum requirement specifies the minimum number of votes (or percentage of the total supply) that must be cast for a governance proposal to be considered valid. This mechanism prevents a small, unrepresentative minority from passing critical changes during periods of low voter turnout.

It ensures that only decisions with broad community support are enacted.
