What happened? Was there an error with auto opt-out? Voting results indicate there were around ~800 wallets using this service, and reports from people indicate they are still opted-in.
We’ve listened to the community feedback regarding the automatic 5% Navigator delegation on veDelegate and decided to remove the auto opt-in
Users will remain fully in control of their voting preferences.
A few important clarifications as there seems to be some misunderstanding around the feature:
• The mirrored 5% carried 0 Navigator fees (while standard Navigator delegation can charge up to 20%)
• veDelegate would never vote for itself
• This did not affect in-dApp voting, only veDelegate users
The intention was never to take control away from users, but to help create a more dynamic and merit based voting ecosystem by introducing limited Navigator influence into otherwise passive voting power
Users who previously enabled delegation features can still manage this setting manually under “Manage Deposit”.
We appreciate the feedback and will continue building with the community
