Snapshot’s voting delegation feature in DAO governance allows users to assign voting power to trusted representatives, aiming to boost participation and leverage expertise. However, it risks concentrating power among a few delegates. Studies show that in DAOs like Compound and Uniswap, voting power is already skewed toward a small number of addresses. Delegation can exacerbate this, as less active members delegate to influential figures, potentially creating "whale" dominance. While Snapshot’s delegate dashboard and statements promote transparency, the system’s flexibility may still enable power imbalances if not carefully managed. DAOs must balance delegation’s benefits—streamlined decision-making and informed votes—with safeguards like transparent voting records and diversified delegation to prevent centralized control.
