Delegation

The act of assigning your governance token voting power to another address (a 'delegate') who will vote on proposals on your behalf. Delegation allows token holders who lack the time or expertise to evaluate every proposal to still have their voting power exercised by a trusted community member. Importantly, delegation typically does not transfer token ownership — you retain your tokens and can revoke or reassign delegation at any time. Delegation is essential for DAO health, as it combats voter apathy and ensures quorum thresholds are met.
