📈 Low governance participation remains one of the biggest challenges for decentralized protocols. Even with billions in assets at stake, many referenda see less than 10% of eligible tokens participating. Let's explore proven strategies for increasing turnout and creating more representative decisions!The Participation Problem: Understanding the Gap 🧩Before solving low turnout, we need to understand why capable voters choose not to participate.
