[Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction
AI summary
This proposal for the Arbitrum DAO aims to reduce the quorum threshold for 'constitutional proposals' from 5% to 4.5% of the total votable Arbitrum (ARB) tokens. Constitutional proposals are those that modify the DAO's core governance structure. The change is motivated by declining voter participation relative to the increasing supply of ARB tokens, which makes it difficult for legitimate proposals to meet the current 5% quorum.
If passed, it will become easier for constitutional proposals to reach the required voter turnout and pass, ensuring the Arbitrum DAO's governance can continue to function effectively. This benefits the DAO by preventing gridlock on important structural changes, but could potentially reduce the number of unique voters needed for such proposals to pass.
