What if there was a way to lock in transaction costs on Ethereum years in advance? One of ETH's co-founders floated an interesting idea recently – building a trustless gas futures market directly on-chain. The logic? Sure, network fees seem manageable right now, but who really knows what they'll look like 24 months down the road? A proper on-chain futures mechanism could give users and protocols actual certainty about future transaction expenses.
