Trueo Ethereum plan draws Vitalik Buterin praise

Sep 22, 2026

Trueo has announced plans to move its prediction market protocol from Base to Ethereum mainnet and asked users to avoid new Base markets expiring after January 31, 2027.

Trueo said in its migration announcement that the Base application will remain available while the Ethereum deployment is prepared. Trading, market resolution and redemptions will continue, while existing markets will remain accessible through their expiries. The project said TYD used as collateral will keep earning yield during the transition.

Trueo keeps Base markets running during Ethereum move

For existing users, the migration will not immediately shut down the Base version. Trueo said markets expiring during 2026 can still be created there, while existing markets will continue operating under their current settlement system. New market ideas requiring an expiry after January 31, 2027 should wait for the Ethereum instance, according to the project.

TRUE, the protocol’s governance and oracle token, will move to Ethereum through an open-ended migration. Trueo has not announced a deadline for token holders to complete the process. The project said future staking and liquidity incentives will operate on Ethereum once the new deployment becomes available.

Ethereum liquidity and integrations drove Trueo’s decision

Explaining its decision, Trueo cited Ethereum’s network effects, available liquidity, integration options and long-term infrastructure. The team said lower execution costs on Ethereum have made mainnet more practical for its product, while the network’s roadmap offers what Trueo described as a neutral and predictable base for development.

Vitalik Buterin praises Trueo’s prediction market model

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded publicly on Sept. 21, welcoming what he described as a new prediction-market contender on Ethereum L1. Buterin praised Trueo’s stated focus on decentralization and ethical design, calling it “not corposlop” and saying prediction markets could be used for “interesting and meaningful things.

Trueo plans a new oracle system on Ethereum

Trueo said work surrounding the Ethereum deployment will include a next-generation oracle system for disputed prediction-market outcomes. The migration announcement did not give a launch date or publish Ethereum contract addresses, leaving the Base contracts as the only deployment currently listed in Trueo’s public documentation.
