   A new blockchain network uses on-chain governance where token holders vote directly on protocol upgrades. The team is concerned about low voter turnout and the risk of a small number of active voters controlling decisions. Which addition to the governance design would best address this concern?

   • AIncrease the voting period to 30 days
   • BRequire a minimum quorum of token holders to participate
   • CRestrict voting to token holders who have held tokens for at least one year
   • DAllow token holders to delegate their votes to trusted representatives

   A blockchain startup is designing a governance mechanism for its new proof-of-stake network. They want to prevent a small group of wealthy token holders from dominating decisions, but they also want to avoid the complexity of requiring all token holders to actively participate in every vote. Which voting mechanism best addresses both concerns?

   • ADelegated proof-of-stake with a small set of delegates
   • BQuadratic voting with delegation options
   • CToken-weighted voting with a quorum requirement
   • DOne-token-one-vote with mandatory participation

   A governance designer is choosing between token-weighted voting and quadratic voting for a new network. The designer wants to ensure that a minority of large holders cannot easily pass proposals that benefit themselves at the expense of the majority. Which approach is more aligned with this goal?

   • AQuadratic voting, because it makes additional votes progressively more expensive
   • BQuadratic voting with a low maximum vote cap
   • CToken-weighted voting with a supermajority requirement
   • DToken-weighted voting, because it gives more weight to those with more at stake

   A governance proposal on a large proof-of-stake network is about to pass with a narrow margin. An analysis shows that a single whale controls 40% of the voting tokens and has voted in favor. The proposal would change the network's monetary policy. Which mitigation strategy would be most effective to prevent this type of governance attack?

   • AIncrease the quorum requirement to 60%
   • BIntroduce a quadratic voting mechanism for future proposals
   • CImplement a time-lock delay before the proposal takes effect
   • DAllow token holders to delegate their votes to the whale
