BlockBeats news, on May 6, Vitalik Buterin posted on social media stating, "The quality of prediction markets depends on their oracles," and expressed his delight at finally seeing prediction markets begin to shift toward oracles that are neither centralized nor financialized. The next step is to make validators' votes private.


Vitalik Buterin's tweet referenced a case on the prediction market platform Trueo regarding the dispute over whether Polymarket's launch of pUSD met the 2026 token release criteria, where the jury voted to "reset the outcome," deeming it inappropriate to resolve the market. Vitalik used this to express his interest in improving oracle mechanisms.
