Occasional delegation and undelegation calls are fee-free: creating an incentive for token holders
to use this feature and ensure that wallets can do it “by default” without any cost to end-users. It
is worth noting that a user delegating their voting power does not imply that the delegate will have
control over the funds of the delegating account: they can vote with a user's voting power: but they
won't be able to transfer your balance, nominate a different set of validators or execute any call
other than voting on the defined call/s by the user.
It is worth noting that a user delegating their voting power does not imply that the delegate will
have control over the funds of the delegating user's account. That delegate's account can vote with
a user's voting power but won't be able to transfer balances, nominate a different set of
validators, or execute any call other than voting on the tracks defined by the user.

censorship-free.

while keeping the overall design censorship-free. Also, voters might not have the technical
knowledge to judge some referenda or might not have the time to read all referenda. Delegations
allow voters to participate in OpenGov hands-free by delegating their voting power to trusted
entities.
