Vitalik Advocates for Trustless On-Chain Gas Futures Market

According to Odaily, Vitalik has expressed on social media the urgent need for a 'trustless on-chain gas futures market,' akin to a 'prediction market for BASE FEE,' to address user uncertainty regarding future transaction fees. He highlighted concerns that while current on-chain fees are low, they could rise significantly in two years. Although proposed solutions like BAL, ePBS, and future ZK-EVM scaling paths could increase the gas limit, the market still desires clearer price forecasts. Vitalik believes that establishing on-chain gas futures tools could provide the market with clear signals about future transaction fees, allowing users to hedge against potential gas costs and effectively lock in fee expenditures for specific time periods.
