BlockBeats News, February 4th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the current creator coin ecosystem over-rewards fame and traffic. It should be improved through a combination of prediction markets and creator DAOs. He suggests establishing small-scale creator DAOs (no more than 200 members) around specific topics, where members anonymously vote on the addition and removal of creators; at the same time, introduce prediction markets to let market participants bet on which creators will be accepted by the DAO.
Vitalik believes this mechanism can turn speculation into “predictions of high-quality creators,” avoiding the pure recursive speculation game of creator tokens. It can also use DAO revenue to buy back and burn tokens of accepted creators, thereby strengthening token value support. He emphasizes that the final decision-making power should rest with creators who produce high-quality content, not speculators.
This view has sparked industry discussion. Some question the creator token model itself, but others believe that this dual-layer structure, while maintaining decentralization, introduces a necessary content filtering mechanism, which helps anchor token value to genuine contributions and long-term income.
