Vitalik: A reliable and trustless on-chain gas futures market is needed

Jinse Finance reported that Ethereum founder Vitalik stated that we need a reliable, trustless on-chain gas futures market (similar to a prediction market for BASEFEE). Although gas fees are currently low, many people are concerned about the direction of fees in the coming years, questioning whether measures such as increasing the gas limit, BAL, ePBS, and subsequent ZK-EVM can maintain low fees. Vitalik believes that an on-chain gas futures market could help solve this problem: users could clearly understand others' expectations for future gas fees and even hedge against future gas prices, effectively prepaying for a specific amount of gas within a certain period.
