What Is Governance Vote Delegation in Cardano?

Cardano is entering a new era of decentralized governance where every ADA holder can actively shape the network. With Governance Vote Delegation, you can participate in protocol decisions — even if you're not a technical expert.
🗳️ What Is Governance Vote Delegation?
Governance Vote Delegation allows ADA holders to delegate their voting power to a trusted DRep (Delegated Representative). These DReps review proposals, cast votes on behalf of the community, and play a crucial role in shaping Cardano’s evolution.
Instead of voting on every proposal yourself, you can choose someone you trust to represent your interests.
