Quorum refers to the minimum number of participants required for a blockchain network or governance system to make a valid decision. It is commonly used in decentralized governance, validator voting, and protocol upgrades. A quorum helps prevent small groups from making decisions that affect the entire network. If quorum is not reached, proposals or votes are typically considered invalid. Quorum mechanisms are essential for maintaining fairness and decentralization in blockchain governance.
