What is Delegation?

For DAOs that use the Governor contract, only delegated tokens can participate in voting. What does this mean for you, a token holder?

You must delegate your tokens to participate in voting. You may choose to delegate to others or to yourself.

If you wish to vote on proposals directly, delegate your voting power to your own address. Or, you can delegate your voting power to another community member and let them vote on your behalf. You can update your delegation at anytime.

Note: To vote on a proposal, votes must be delegated BEFORE the proposal is live. For security reasons, votes delegated during a proposal period cannot be used until the next proposal.

Delegate to Yourself

From the DAO Page, select the Delegate vote button.

Delegate to Another Address

Re-Delegate & Un-Delegate

At any point, you have the complete freedom to re-delegate your tokens to a different address by following the same steps you initially used to delegate your tokens. This flexibility ensures that you can adapt to changing circumstances and align your delegation with your current preferences or strategies.

Additionally, you also have the option to undelegate your tokens, thereby reclaiming your voting power to participate directly in the decision-making process. This may be important if a vote you feel particularly strongly about comes up; you can take a more active role in the governance of the DAO whenever you feel it is necessary or appropriate.

In the pop up window, select Delegate to self.
Confirm and sign the transaction via your wallet (this example shows MetaMask).
From the DAO Page, select the Delegate vote button.
