According to Foresight News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a post that we need a reliable trustless on-chain gas futures market (similar to a prediction market for BASEFEE). Vitalik pointed out that although gas fees are currently low, many people are concerned about the direction of fees in the coming years and question whether measures such as increasing the gas limit, BAL, ePBS, and subsequent ZK-EVMs can maintain low fees. He believes that a well-developed on-chain gas futures market could help address these concerns.
