Vitalik Buterin Proposes Trustless On-Chain Gas Futures Market
12/06/2025, 13:06
AI SUMMARY
●Vitalik suggests on-chain gas futures to hedge fee volatility
●Concept functions like a prediction market on Ethereum's Basefee
●Aim is to help users manage uncertainty regarding future gas costs
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed the creation of a "trustless on-chain gas futures market" to address the uncertainty of future transaction fees. He describes the concept as a prediction market based on the Ethereum "Basefee," allowing users to speculate on or hedge against fee volatility.
The proposal aims to solve the problem where users are unsure if low fees today will persist in the long term despite scalability improvements. A functional gas futures market would enable better planning and risk management for developers and heavy network users.
