Vitalik Buterin Proposes On-Chain Gas Futures Market for Ethereum
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed creating an on-chain futures market for ETH gas fees. This would allow users and developers to prepay or hedge against future transaction costs, providing more predictable gas expenses amid network congestion.
The idea aims to bring budget certainty for heavy users and developers while generating market-driven signals about future fee expectations. Although still a proposal, if implemented, it could enhance Ethereum’s financial stability, improve planning for projects, and help the network scale more efficiently.
