## To enable rewards withdrawal

Cardano requires that stakers either:

- delegate their governance voting power to a delegated representative or
- explicitly abstain from governance voting.

The `/delegate` endpoint explicitly sets wallet addresses to abstain, and includes both stake delegation and vote delegation (`AlwaysAbstain`) certificates for every response. For first-time delegation from a wallet, a `StakeRegistration` certificate will also be included.
