Delegation

Delegation

Delegation allows governance token holders to assign their voting power to trusted community members, enabling more active participation in DAO governance while maintaining democratic principles.

Understanding Delegation

Delegation is a powerful feature that:

  • Increases Participation: Allows token holders to participate indirectly when they cannot vote directly
  • Leverages Expertise: Enables specialized community members to make informed decisions
  • Maintains Flexibility: Delegators can reclaim or redirect their voting power at any time
  • Preserves Democracy: Each token retains its proportional voting weight

How Delegation Works

When you delegate your tokens:

  1. Voting Power Transfer: Your governance tokens' voting power is assigned to your chosen delegate
  2. Token Ownership: You retain full ownership of your tokens
  3. Flexible Management: You can change or revoke delegation at any time

Delegating Your Voting Power

Step 1 - Access Delegation Interface

Navigate to the "My governance view" section in your DAO interface.

Step 2 - Choose a Delegate

Check your current delegation status and available voting power or select a community member to delegate your voting power to. Consider:

ℹ️

You can only delegate to 1 wallet. Split delegation is not supported yet.

  • Track Record: Review their voting history and DAO participation
  • Alignment: Ensure their values align with your preferences
  • Activity Level: Choose active participants who regularly vote

Step 3 - Managing Your Delegations

The user is also able to check the delegation he is receiving for different users.

ℹ️

Delegation enhances DAO governance by enabling broader participation while leveraging community expertise. It's a powerful tool for creating more effective and representative decision-making processes.

⚠️

Choose your delegates carefully. While delegation is reversible, poor delegate choices can impact important DAO decisions during the delegation period.
