Fundamentals
Token delegation and the turnout problem
Most token holders will never read a proposal. Delegation lets them lend their weight to someone who will.
How delegation works mechanically
Holders assign voting power to an address without transferring tokens. Power is measured at a snapshot block, so late transfers cannot swing an open vote.
Making delegates accountable
Publish delegate statements, voting records and participation rates. Undelegating should be as easy as delegating.
Avoiding quiet centralisation
Track concentration. If three delegates can pass anything, your quorum is decorative.
