Overview
Delegation is transferring voting power or staking rights to another address. It lets users participate without active management. It is central to governance and staking.
How It Works
A holder delegates their voting power or stake to a chosen delegate or validator. The delegate acts on their behalf. Users can redelegate or undelegate, often with a delay.
Why It Matters
Delegation increases participation and expertise in governance. In staking, it distributes security across validators. It introduces trust in delegates.
