Hello dear friend,

Ideally, the Blockchain users vote for delegates with vested interests to become witnesses and validator nodes. The vested interest can be fully owned by the delegates or can be delegated to them by the users. The combined vested interest listed under the stakeholders serves as their stake in the Blockchain.

you are right dear I must confess, as normal your post is of very high quality and very educative. Indeed the delegated proof of participation supports the voting of witness just like the Tron Blockchain, steem holder votes on witness. So therefore the are given power to represent other users and the could be removed just by reversing their votes. This consensus mechanism is really awesome and powerful, making it really admired in the Blockchain technology world.
