Introduction Properties Direct Democracy Every address that votes goes into direct democracy mode, otherwise it would go to delegative democracy mode, and it's influence passed to the first delegate that voted. Delegative Democracy Vote influence can be delegated through a hierarchical trust network of specialized delegates. To delegate is to entrust (a task or responsibility) to another person. The delegate property enables the “liquid” feature of topic democracy. Means that “influence” can easily (but still democratically) flow between accounts. A delegation is not only the direct delegate, but also the indirect delegates, which easily can withdraw indirect influence. Delegations can derive childs where a specific delegate can be found and that a default delegate might be used for sub democracies. A hierarchy of delegations is defined as trust network. Ignores low user engagement A default delegate address is defined, but anyone can change their delegate at anytime. Default delegate can be defined as a kickstart curator, for taking actions to unclog approval of needed proposals. Once most users are engaged with governance, the default delegate would become irrelevant for approval. Once proven that Default Delegate is unnecessary, a removal can be proposed, or the change of it can be requested. Sub democracies can set their own default delegate.
