Hi @zzzckck,
Could you please help clarify the conflict between the delegation and undelegation descriptions in BEP-294 and the latest documentation? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

hi @Spongebob-bear I believe our understanding of the commission fee may differ. You might think that the commission fee comes from the user's delegation, that's not the case, the commission fee comes from the block rewards. For example, there are 10 delegator, each staking 1BNB, and commision rate is 10%, and one day the validator receive 1 bnb block rewards, then the value of a delegator is: 1BNB * (1 - 10% commission rate) * ( 1BNB user delegation / 10 BNB totoal delegation) + 1 BNB user delegation = 1.09 BNB. In another word, the value of user delegation will never decrease, only possible increase.

Thank you for your response, it resolves my question!
