#数字货币市场洞察 💡Vitalik has a new move! Ethereum plans to launch an on-chain Gas futures market—will transaction fee anxiety finally be cured for good?
🔥【Major Event】 Vitalik’s latest proposal is shaking things up: create a decentralized on-chain Gas futures trading system, somewhat like the previous BASEFEE prediction mechanism. Although fees don’t look high right now, can technologies like BAL, ePBS, and ZK-EVM keep costs down in the long run? No one’s sure. The futures market might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
🔍【What can Gas futures do? Three hardcore uses】
Price prediction: The market will tell you in real time what future Gas fees are likely to be—no more guessing. Risk hedging: Project teams and whales can lock in future Gas expenses in advance, no more fear of sudden spikes. Prepaid quota: Buy Gas allocation for a specific time period, budgeting down to the decimal.
📈【What does this mean for different people?】 ▫️ DeFi teams: Large operation costs can finally be calculated accurately. ▫️ Retail users: You’ll know transaction or swap fees in advance. ▫️ Validators: More stable income sources, no more relying on luck.
⚙️【How is the tech going to support this?】
- BAL mechanism: Expands block space capacity via sharding. - ePBS architecture: Optimizes and upgrades transaction ordering process. - ZK-EVM solution: In theory, can boost processing power by a thousand times.
⚠️【A few potholes to fill in this plan】
Anti-cheating mechanisms must keep pace, or the market risks price manipulation. Early liquidity might be insufficient, so contract trading volume will need time to build. High technical complexity—must coordinate both the futures system and the underlying protocol.
🚀【Impact on the entire industry】
- Could spawn a whole Gas derivatives industry chain, much like traditional commodity futures. - Institutional capital will be more willing to enter, massively boosting ecosystem stability. - Provides Layer2s and sidechains with a benchmark for fees.

Another so-called savior plan, but in the end, it will just be the whales reaping profits from the retail investors. If futures liquidity doesn't pick up, it's nothing but a joke.

It's just a bunch of theories again. How long will it actually take before they can be used?

Honestly, it's just a bunch of theories again. Let's wait until it's actually launched. History tells us that half of Vitalik's proposals never get implemented.

Making big promises again? Gas futures sound good, but I'm afraid there will be a bunch of bugs in actual operation.

Here we go again? I’ve heard about launching futures for a while now, but it still feels pretty sketchy... The real way to lower gas fees is through scaling; in the end, aren’t futures just another tool to fleece retail investors?

Once again, it's just empty talk. Let's discuss it after it's actually implemented.

Making promises again? Can Vitalik actually take action this time instead of just talking? BAL, ePBS, ZK-EVM have been discussed for three years and there’s still no progress.

Have to fill the gap again. Whether the gas fees can truly be stabilized this time still depends on the subsequent implementation.
