The delegation-create command in Mintlayer is designed to establish a delegation to a specific staking pool. This command facilitates the assignment of an owner for the delegation, who is authorized to sign for withdrawals from the pool. It creates a unique delegation ID, to which coins can be sent for automatic staking in the provided pool ID. Notably, the pool receiving the delegation does not have the authority to spend the coins.
