# Delegation

## How Delegation Works <a href="#how-delegation-works" id="how-delegation-works"></a>

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 <a href="#delegating-your-voting-power" id="delegating-your-voting-power"></a>

#### Access Delegation Interface

Navigate to the **My governance view** section in your DAO interface.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose a Delegate <a href="#step-2---choose-a-delegate" id="step-2---choose-a-delegate"></a>

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

You can only delegate to **1 wallet**.

* **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
  {% endstep %}

#### Managing Your Delegations <a href="#step-3---managing-your-delegations" id="step-3---managing-your-delegations"></a>

Users can also check the delegation they are receiving from different addresses.

{% hint style="success" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Choose your delegates carefully. While delegation is reversible, poor delegate choices can impact important DAO decisions during the delegation period.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realms.today/realms-v2/features/delegation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
