# Voting Power Representatives' voting power in [dPoS](/architecture/consensus.md) is determined by the amount of Keeta tokens delegated to them. When token holders delegate their Keeta to a representative, they increase that representative's voting power in the consensus process. Representatives with more delegated tokens have stronger voting power when deciding whether to add new blocks to the chain. This system ensures that those trusted with more of the network's tokens have greater influence in validation decisions, while still allowing smaller token holders to participate in governance by choosing which representatives to support through delegation. The mechanism creates a balance between network security and decentralized participation.

dPoS allows all participants to contribute to the voting process without requiring them to be representatives, and allows trustworthy parties to become representatives without personally holding substantial weight.
