Trueo Ethereum plan draws Vitalik Buterin praise

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.
Launched on Base in March 2025, the protocol runs binary YES-or-NO prediction markets onchain. Trueo’s documentation describes trading as non-custodial, with transactions executed directly onchain through a custom Uniswap v4 hook. TYD serves as the payment asset for current market positions and oracle bonds under the present deployment.
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.
Current public data shows that the move has not been completed. Trueo’s official deployment documentation still lists its TruthMarketManager, OracleCouncil, OracleBonds, OrderManager and market master contracts on Base mainnet. No Ethereum mainnet deployment addresses appear on that page.
DefiLlama’s Sept. 22 snapshot attributes all $796,126.31 of tracked Trueo TVL to Base. The same data records $9,727.92 in DEX volume during the previous 30 days and identifies Base as holding 100% of tracked protocol TVL.
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.
Trueo framed Base as useful during the protocol’s earlier experimental period instead of criticizing the Coinbase-linked Layer 2. The team said Ethereum better fits its intended model of a widely integrated, permissionless and highly immutable prediction market, while liquidity growth and reduced trust assumptions remain priorities for the next deployment.
Ethereum’s existing DeFi environment formed another part of the project’s stated reasoning. Trueo said direct access to Ethereum applications and liquidity could provide more integration paths. The team described the Ethereum L1 prediction-market field as less crowded than several competing blockchain environments, presenting that assessment as part of its own migration case.
