[Hasu Comments on Vitalik's On-Chain Gas Futures Market Idea: Weak Long Interest May Lead to Insufficient Liquidity and Difficulty in Scaling] According to a report by Jinse Finance, Hasu, strategic advisor at Lido and strategy lead at Flashbots, posted on the X platform commenting on Vitalik's proposal to establish an on-chain Gas futures market. He stated that such a market lacks natural short sellers: a large number of users are inherently exposed to Gas cost risks (short positions) and wish to hedge, but there are almost no participants willing to take long positions on Gas. As a result, liquidity may be insufficient, making it difficult to form a meaningful market scale. In response, Vitalik proposed that the protocol itself act as the market's short seller, suggesting the auctioning of future base fee usage rights on-chain (up to 2 years in advance). Although Hasu questioned the incentive effectiveness of this model, Vitalik explained that users or application developers who pre-purchase Gas would shift from being "natural Gas shorts" to "neutral." Meanwhile, the protocol, due to the burning of base fees, is inherently in a "long" position. Through pre-sales, this portion of risk could be neutralized.
