Vitalik Buterin: The idea of ​​a content curation-style creator platform is not complicated.

PANews reported on February 2nd that Vitalik Buterin, in response to a post on the X platform regarding his proposed "curated creator platform" idea, stated that the idea is not complex. He believes that the main pattern for future on-chain mechanism design will be: [something similar to prediction markets] → [something similar to anti-capture, non-financialized preference setting tools]. In other words:

• A highly open and accountable layer (this is a market where anyone can buy and sell; correct decisions lead to profits, and incorrect decisions lead to losses).
• A decentralized and diverse layer maximizes intrinsic motivation. This cannot be based on tokens, as token holders are not diversified; anyone could buy and hold 51% of the shares. Voting here should be anonymous, ideally using a MACI mechanism to reduce the risk of collusion.

Prediction markets are the right way to achieve a "decentralized executor" because the most logical element of "accountability" in the permissionless concept is precisely this. However, sometimes you might want to simplify things and choose to establish a centralized executor at this level: [a replaceable centralized executor] -> [looks like a non-capturing, non-financialized preference-setting tool]. It's best to think explicitly about these two levels: (i) what executes your actions, and (ii) what sets your preferences and judges the executor.

Previously , Vitalik Buterin published an article on the X platform discussing the design concept of creator coins, pointing out that the crypto industry's overall effectiveness in content incentives over the past decade has been limited. The core problem is not insufficient content supply, but rather a lack of mechanisms for selecting and discovering high-quality content. Given that AI can now generate large amounts of content at low cost, the industry's goal should shift from "incentivizing more content" to "identifying and amplifying high-quality content."
