In crypto systems, quorum appears in contexts like multisig wallets (e.g., 2-of-3 required signers), validator committees, or masternode votes. It ensures decisions aren’t made by a single party.

Example 1.1

"A DAO proposal might pass only if a quorum of token-weighted votes is reached within the voting window."
