What voting quorum design minimizes slash-risk proposals?
To minimize slash-risk proposals, quorum designs should combine high participation thresholds, stake-weight balancing, and delayed execution. Requiring both a minimum turnout (e.g., 40–60% of total stake) and a supermajority approval (e.g., ≥66%) filters out rushed or malicious proposals. Designs that prevent dominant whales from passing proposals unilaterally further protect against targeted slash attempts. Additionally, tiered quorum systems—where slashing-related proposals require higher consensus than non-critical ones—offer tailored protection. Time-delayed enactment and mandatory public review windows are also essential to ensure validators can safely respond.
