We support the proposal to reduce the quorum for approving a proposal by 0.5%. We know the importance of quorum to prevent governance attacks and, with Arbitrum’s diversification strategies, an attack can become profitable.
It is essential that lowering the 0.5% is not the only measure taken by the Arbitrum Foundation for the DAO. We recommend debating a way to increase the number of votes participating in proposals, either with (1) incentives to attract new delegates, (2) committees like the ACC in Optimism/Scroll or (3) delegation from the Foundation to delegates.
Increasing participation is important, but maintaining the security of the DAO is also fundamental.
