Hasu, strategic advisor of Lido and strategic director of Flashbots, commented on the idea of Vitalik calling for the establishment of an on-chain Gas futures market, saying that the market lacks natural bears: a large number of users are themselves exposed to Gas costs (short) and want to hedge, but few people in the market are willing to do Gas long, so liquidity may not be sufficient to form a meaningful market size.
In this regard, Vitalik proposed that the protocol itself act as a market short, that is, through on-chain auctions of future base fee usage rights (which can be advanced to 2 years). Although Hasu questioned the incentive effectiveness of the model, Vitalik explained that users or application developers will go from "natural gas short" to "neutral" after pre-purchasing Gas; at the same time, the protocol is naturally in "long" speculation due to the burning of base fees, and this part can be achieved through pre-sale.
