🕵️ Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that future on-chain mechanism design will feature a “two-layer structure.” This includes an open execution layer, like prediction markets, where correct decisions are rewarded and incorrect ones incur losses, and a decentralized preference and judgment layer that is capture-resistant, non-financialized, utilizes anonymous voting (e.g., MACI to prevent collusion), and is non-token-based to avoid 51% attacks. link
🗳️ #ETH Vitalik Buterin: In my view, the future of blockchain mechanism design will mainly adhere to one scheme:
One layer, maximally open and providing maximum accountability (it's a market, anyone can buy and sell; if you make the right decisions, you make money; if you make the wrong decisions, you lose money);
One layer, decentralized and pluralistic, providing maximum room for internal motivation. This cannot be based on tokens, because token holders are not pluralistic, and anyone can buy and acquire 51% of them. Voting here should be anonymous. link
