Vitalik Buterin Proposes On-Chain Futures Market for Gas Fees

Vitalik Buterin Proposes On-Chain Futures Market for Gas Fees

The post Vitalik Buterin Proposes On-Chain Futures Market for Gas Fees appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. By allowing people to lock in future gas prices. the system could help traders, developers, and institutions hedge against volatility and better plan operational expenses. The idea comes as Ethereum’s fees, while currently low, continue to swing sharply. Buterin argues that a futures market will not only smooth out these fluctuations but also provide clearer signals about long-term fee expectations. Buterin Proposes New Way to Stabilize Gas Fees Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin caused fresh discussions about the future of network fees after proposing the creation of a trustless on-chain futures market for gas. The idea was shared in a post on X,and came in response to questions about whether Ethereum can guarantee low and predictable gas fees as adoption scales. Buterin argued that while ongoing roadmap improvements aim to reduce costs, users, developers, and institutions need greater certainty about what they will pay to transact in the months and years ahead. His proposed solution is similar to how traditional futures markets operate. In commodities like oil, futures contracts let buyers and sellers lock in prices at a later date, reducing uncertainty and helping manage risk. An Ethereum gas futures market would adopt the same principle.  Users could secure a set base fee for a defined future time window, effectively locking in the price of blockspace before they need it. This could allow high-volume users like traders, app developers, and institutions to hedge against volatility and plan operational expenses more accurately. Buterin explained that such a market would do more than protect against spikes. It would also offer a reliable metric for the ecosystem to understand expectations around future gas costs. This transparency could support better long-term planning for everything from protocol development to application design. A well-functioning on-chain futures system would, in his view, serve as a core financial tool…

Predicting the market takes a decade of honing; who will be next?

Predicting the market takes a decade of honing; who will be next?

The evolution of the crypto prediction market is fascinating because it was once considered a "falsifiable" sector. It took a decade to achieve Product-Market Fit (PMF), a process that exceeded market expectations. Sometimes, in the crypto space, drawing conclusions too early isn't advisable. The concept of prediction markets is not new; it has existed in the crypto space for a long time. The Gnosis project started development in 2015; and Augur officially launched in 2018. It is a decentralized prediction market platform based on Ethereum that allows users to create and predict future events and settle them using cryptocurrencies. Polymarket (based on Polygon) launched in 2020, but has remained marginalized ever since. Coupled with regulatory factors, it has struggled to survive. Polymarket's initial monthly trading volume was only a few million dollars; Augur's TVL plummeted nearly 80% after the 2020 election, falling from its peak to a few million dollars. The overall industry TVL peaked at around 7 million dollars, with monthly trading volume less than 100 million dollars. Regulatory pressure (such as the CFTC viewing it as "gambling") and imperfect (manipulable) oracles further hampered growth. The prediction market didn't truly explode until 2024. In particular, the 2024 US presidential election became a turning point. Polymarket's campaign prediction market saw trading volume exceed $2.7 billion, with the platform's monthly trading volume surging from $62 million in May to $2.1 billion in October, a more than 30-fold increase. The total notional trading volume for the year reached $16.3 billion, far exceeding the total of all previous years. Why did it take ten years to achieve PMF? First, the early crypto space faced technical and user experience barriers. While the concept of prediction markets seemed promising and demand immense, the user experience excluded the vast majority of users. For example, early versions of Augur were built on Ethereum's L1 platform, resulting in extremely high transaction costs—GAS was prohibitively high at the time—and slow confirmation speeds. Furthermore, ordinary users had to master wallets and complex interfaces, all of which presented significant learning curves. These high barriers corresponded to insufficient liquidity and user concerns about manipulation. Secondly, regulatory pressure has been constant. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has intensified its scrutiny of prediction markets since 2018, classifying them as "gambling" or derivatives. During this period, Augur was fined for betting on sensitive events; Polymarket paid a $1.4 million fine and withdrew from the U.S. in 2022; and even its founder, Shayne Coplan (born in 1998), had his New York apartment raided by the FBI, who seized his electronic devices (but did not arrest him). This regulatory ambiguity has prevented institutional funds from entering the market. Regulatory pressure has made it difficult for liquidity to improve. Thirdly, there has been a shift in market narrative. In the crypto space from 2016 to 2018, most users focused more on speculation than practical tools; the DeFi/NFT boom from 2020 to 2023 distracted attention, resulting in a prediction market TVL of only $7 million. The lack of mainstream events hindered the accumulation of liquidity. Fourth, oracles are immature and easily manipulated. 2024 will be a turning point. As mentioned above, the US presidential election in 2024 will be a catalyst, but it will be much more than that. From 2024 to now, prediction markets have truly taken off. Besides Polymarket, the centralized prediction platform Kalshi has also emerged. In 2025, prediction market trading volume reached $27.9 billion (a year-on-year increase of 210%), with a weekly peak of $2.3 billion. The combined TVL of Polymarket and Kalshi exceeded $20 billion. Both were valued at tens of billions of dollars. Prediction markets suddenly became the darling of the market. So, what are the driving factors? In stark contrast to the obstacles encountered between 2015 and 2024, these obstacles were removed one by one, resulting in a qualitative improvement in various aspects such as user experience. First, there are changes in technological barriers and user experience. Polygon and Base L2 networks have reduced gas fees to mere cents and increased transaction speeds tenfold. Platforms like Polymarket have optimized their UIs, supporting one-click stablecoin betting and attracting non-crypto natives. Furthermore, DeFi has seen significant growth, providing deeper liquidity. For users, participating in prediction markets is now very convenient. Kalshi, a centralized prediction platform, has integrated with platforms like Robinhood, making user participation even easier. Second, regulatory changes. Following the 2024 US presidential election, regulators pushed for crypto-friendly policies. The CFTC approved regulated platforms like Kalshi in 2025. The SEC/CFTC clarified the legality of "spot commodity crypto," and stablecoin legislation passed Congress. Overseas, while Switzerland maintains a blacklist, the overall environment has shifted from hostile to supportive, with institutional funds flowing in (e.g., ICE invested $2 billion). Third, the market narrative has shifted. During this cycle, no single narrative has been particularly dominant. Instead, real-world applications have become the focus of market attention. Coupled with the catalyst of the 2024 election predictions, Polymarkets expanded its reach to areas such as sports, economics, and technology. Media promotion (such as coverage by CNN/Bloomberg) and the spread through social networks further fueled the boom in prediction markets. Fourth, both institutions and the community are pushing for it, with a16z actively participating and creating a narrative of "event-driven financial infrastructure." Community users are also actively participating, which has boosted TVL. Fifth, the prediction market has gradually evolved from "gambling" into a new type of signal, similar to a signal that provides real-time probability. An interesting conclusion can be drawn from the decade-long evolution of prediction markets: not all "falsified" sectors necessarily lack product-market fit (PMF); sometimes it's simply because conditions weren't yet ripe. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the crypto space. Due to the underdeveloped infrastructure in the first decade (expensive/slow/poor user experience, etc.), many attempts failed to reach ordinary users. Perhaps some of these sectors—such as Crypto Games, social networking, AI agents, depins, and digital identities—have already ended, but others will still have a chance to rediscover their potential.

Ethereum’s Co-Founder Proposes Idea For Onchain Gas Futures

Ethereum’s Co-Founder Proposes Idea For Onchain Gas Futures

The post Ethereum’s Co-Founder Proposes Idea For Onchain Gas Futures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has floated the idea for an onchain futures market for gas, which could give users certainty over transaction fees as the network becomes more widely adopted. In a post on X on Saturday, Buterin argued that the market needs a “good trustless onchain gas futures market,” as people have been questioning him over the certainty of low gas fees via current price reduction methods in Ethereum’s roadmap. Buterin outlined that one way to address the uncertainty would be to enable users to essentially lock in prices for specific times in the future, as he outlined one potential market for Ethereum Base fees — a crucial factor in the overall gas fees.  How an Ethereum gas futures market would work In a traditional futures market, contracts are offered to buy or sell assets, such as oil, at a set price in the future, enabling investors to speculate on price changes and producers to hedge against future risks.  In an Ethereum context, the futures market would essentially do the same, offer gas fees at set prices at future time windows, allowing users of the network to potentially save on future price spikes if they occur. Source: Vitalik Buterin As such, a well-established and reliable futures market would provide a key metric for the ecosystem to speculate, plan or build around. “An onchain gas futures market would help solve this: people would get a clear signal of people’s expectations of future gas fees, and would even be able to hedge against future gas prices, effectively prepaying for any specific quantity of gas in a specific time interval,” he said.  A functional prediction market such as this would provide an essential service for users with heavy volume on the network, such as traders, builders, applications and institutions, who require a…

Matter Labs Plans to Retire ZKsync Lite Next Year, Shifting to Advanced Systems

Matter Labs Plans to Retire ZKsync Lite Next Year, Shifting to Advanced Systems

The post Matter Labs Plans to Retire ZKsync Lite Next Year, Shifting to Advanced Systems appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Matter Labs plans to retire ZKsync Lite, an early Ethereum scaling solution, in 2025 to focus on advanced systems like ZKsync Era. This orderly shutdown ensures seamless withdrawals while transitioning users to more robust zero-knowledge rollups, maintaining network security and efficiency. ZKsync Lite, launched in 2020, served as a proof-of-concept for zero-knowledge payments on Ethereum. It enabled basic transfers, NFT minting, and swaps but lacked smart contract support, limiting its scalability. Current daily operations are under 200, with $49 million in bridged assets still withdrawable to Ethereum mainnet. Discover the ZKsync Lite retirement: Matter Labs shifts to ZKsync Era for better Ethereum scaling. Learn impacts, timelines, and how to withdraw assets securely. Stay updated on zk-rollup advancements today! What is the ZKsync Lite Retirement Plan? ZKsync Lite retirement refers to Matter Labs’ decision to phase out its initial zero-knowledge rollup network, launched in June 2020, by the end of next year. This early system, designed for simple Ethereum transactions, has fulfilled its role as a proof-of-concept, paving the way for more advanced technologies like ZKsync Era. The transition ensures users can continue accessing funds without disruption. Why is Matter Labs Shutting Down ZKsync Lite? Matter Labs announced the ZKsync Lite shutdown to redirect resources toward next-generation solutions that support full smart contract functionality and EVM compatibility.
