Vitalik proposes integrating a prediction market and a DAO into the creator token ecosystem, weakening the celebrity effect and strengthening intrinsic value

BlockBeats News, February 4th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the current Creator Coin ecosystem over-rewards fame and traffic, and should be improved through a combination of Prediction Markets + Creator DAO. He proposed the establishment of small-scale Creator DAOs (not exceeding 200 members) around specific themes, where members anonymously vote to decide on new creators' admission and removal; at the same time, introducing prediction markets for market participants to bet on which creators will be accepted by the DAO.

Vitalik believes that this mechanism can transform speculative behavior into "prediction of high-quality creators," avoiding Creator Coin's pure recursive speculation game. Through DAO income buybacks and burning of the tokens of accepted creators, the token's value support can be strengthened. He emphasized that the ultimate decision-making power should be in the hands of creators who truly produce high-quality content, not speculators.

This view has sparked industry discussions, with some questioning the Creator Coin model itself. However, some believe that this two-tier structure, while maintaining decentralization, introduces a necessary content curation mechanism to help anchor token value to real contributions and long-term income.
