Vitalik Buterin: Future of on-chain mechanisms is a dual-layer structure

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X that the future design of on-chain mechanisms will consist of two layers: execution and value judgment. He explained that the execution layer would function like a prediction market, open to all participants, where outcomes result in profit or loss. The other layer, for value judgment, must be decentralized and pluralistic, and its structure should not grant influence based on token holdings. Buterin added that collusion should be prevented through methods like anonymous voting and Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI). He emphasized that a clear separation between these two layers will be the core of on-chain governance design.
