Vitalik Buterin calls for on-chain gas futures market

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has highlighted the need for an on-chain gas futures market. He argued that while gas fees are currently low, it is difficult to predict how they will change over the next two years. According to Buterin, a gas futures market would help form expectations for the future fee market and allow users to hedge against the risk of rising gas costs. He added that it could also enable features for pre-booking or pre-purchasing gas for specific periods.
