Hasu comments on Vitalik's idea of on-chain gas futures markets: Weak willingness to go long may lead to insufficient liquidity and difficulty in achieving scale.
According to Jinse Finance, Hasu, Lido's strategic advisor and Flashbots' strategy director, commented on Vitalik's call to establish an on-chain gas futures market on the X platform. He stated that the market lacks natural short sellers: a large number of users are inherently exposed to gas costs (short) and wish to hedge, but almost no one in the market is willing to take the long side on gas, so liquidity may be insufficient, making it difficult to form a meaningful market size.
In response, Vitalik suggested that the protocol itself could act as the market's short seller, that is, by auctioning future base fees on-chain.
