The Delegation Program
Summary: Help your colleagues place their first few claims!
Governance->Node->Delegation Program->Definition
The Delegation Program allows you to delegate Token Power to empower other members of the Community, giving them a louder voice in governance. The Token Power you delegate may be used by the recipient in any Governance Program, with no restrictions.

Governance->Concept->Reusable Governance Snippets->Featuring Tokens Bonus
Important: Participation in this program is incentivized with a Tokens Bonus, meaning you earn tokens just by participating! Read about Tokens Bonus to learn more!
When you delegate Voting Power through the Voting Program, the recipient may only use the delegated power within the Voting Program. Instead, the Delegation Program allows you to delegate Token Power, which may be used by the recipient in any program.
Warning: Only 10% of the Token Power you drive into a User Delegate node reaches the recipient User Profile. This is to disincentivize fraudulent behaviors that may arise involving circular declarations, fake profiles, or trading of votes.
Delegate Power Switch
Governance->Node->Delegate Power Switch->Definition
Use this switch as an organizational device, and spawn User Delegate nodes.
Governance->Node->Delegate Power Switch->Content
You may use this switch for two different purposes:
- As an organizational device: You may create arbitrary arrangements, spawning more switches and User Delegate nodes.
- As a switch: You may control the flow of Delegate Power, pretty much like with a Token Power Switch, but within the Delegation Program. If you need a reminder, read about how Token Power Flows.
User Delegate
Governance->Node->User Delegate->Definition
Use this node to establish a reference with a colleague's User Profile. With this reference, you are passing on Token Power directly into your colleague's profile, effectively delegating your Token Power. Your colleague may use the power in any of the Governance Programs.
Governance->Node->User Delegate->Content
The main use case for delegating Token Power is when mentors wish to help their mentees make their first few Contribution Claims.
Contributors need to drive Claim Power to their claims for them to be effective. However, when they are new to Superalgos, they may not have enough tokens to back their claims.
Mentors are happy to help their mentees get their first few tokens, and are rewarded for their work and generosity through the Mentorship Program.
Note: This form of Token Power delegation is inspired in the concept of Liquid Democracy, also implemented in the Voting Program.
The same Token Power may be delegated multiple times with the caveat in the below warning box. The delegation may be withdrawn at any point as well, simply by removing the User Delegate node or its reference.
Warning: Only 10% of the Delegate Power you drive into a User Delegate node reaches the recipient User Profile. This is to disincentivize fraudulent behaviors that may arise involving circular declarations, fake profiles, or trading of votes.
