Today, I was stuck in traffic to the point of questioning my life, and my coffee got cold... Then I saw someone talking about governance voting again. Honestly, delegated voting was originally meant to serve "preventing small investors from being unable to vote," but the more it’s delegated, the more it seems like power is being bundled and handed over to a few familiar faces. Who exactly does governance tokens really govern? Often, it’s the process: how proposals pass, who can pass them, who sees the information first. Ordinary people hold the votes, and in the end, it’s just about "choosing someone to delegate to." The experience is definitely smoother, but it also becomes more oligarchic.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading are hot again. The more on-chain interactions become automated, the more voting might follow suit... I’m actually more concerned about security and permission boundaries: what exactly have you authorized, can you revoke it at any time, and is the delegation chain clear enough to be explained with a single diagram? Anyway, before I vote now, I check the delegatee’s past actions. I don’t expect alignment of stance, but at least they shouldn’t always follow the biggest voting power. That’s all for now.
