On February 2nd, Vitalik Buterin outlined the future core framework for on-chain mechanism design: - A prediction market-like model that maximizes openness and accountability (anyone can buy/sell; good decisions yield profits, bad ones lead to losses) — well-suited for the role of a "decentralized execution layer." - Decentralized, diversified, non-token-based preference setting (anonymous voting, ideally using MACI to prevent collusion) that maximizes intrinsic motivation space and avoids token holder takeovers. Buterin emphasized that prediction markets are the optimal primitive for achieving "decentralized governance."
