Trueo prediction market migrates from Base to Ethereum mainnet

Onchain prediction market Trueo is migrating its protocol from the Base Layer 2 network to the Ethereum mainnet. Trueo co-founder Lumberg and the development team cited Ethereum's superior liquidity, network effects, and credible neutrality as key drivers for the move. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin praised the migration, highlighting Trueo's commitment to decentralization and ethical design. Trueo will keep its Base platform operational during the transition, but has advised users not to create new Base markets expiring after January 31, 2027.

Trueo Base to Ethereum migration

• ▪DefiLlama data from September 22, 2026 recorded Trueo's total value locked at approximately $795,687 to $796,126, with 100% of the tracked TVL located on Base.
• ▪Trueo announced plans on September 21, 2026 to migrate its onchain prediction market protocol from the Base Layer 2 network to the Ethereum mainnet.
• ▪Trueo originally launched its binary prediction market protocol on the Base network in March 2025.

Ethereum mainnet integration advantages

• ▪Trueo co-founder Lumberg stated on X that Ethereum is the best blockchain for establishing a credibly neutral, truthful oracle system and prediction market.
• ▪Trueo cited Ethereum's superior network effects, global integration potential, available liquidity, and long-term infrastructure neutrality as the primary drivers for its migration from Base to Ethereum mainnet
• ▪Trueo stated that Base served as a useful sandbox during the protocol's experimental phase when Ethereum mainnet gas fees were elevated.

Base platform transition mechanics

• ▪Trueo said TRUE token holders will be provided an open-ended, deadline-free window to migrate their TRUE governance and oracle tokens from Base to Ethereum
• ▪Trueo requested that users avoid creating new Base prediction markets that expire after January 31, 2027, advising them to wait for Trueo's Ethereum mainnet deployment
• ▪Trueo will keep its Base platform fully operational during the transition, allowing trading, market resolution, and redemptions to continue without interruption.

Vitalik Buterin endorsement

• ▪Vitalik Buterin's public comments on Trueo's Ethereum migration did not include any announcement of a formal partnership, investment, or grant from the Ethereum Foundation to Trueo
• ▪Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly praised Trueo on September 21, 2026, welcoming it as a new L1 prediction market contender dedicated to decentralization and ethical design.

Oracle system development priorities

• ▪Trueo plans to prioritize attracting liquidity to major market categories and launching its next-generation oracle system immediately following Trueo's migration to Ethereum mainnet
• ▪Trueo stated that its next-generation oracle is designed to process evidence from virtually any legitimate data source to produce fair, accurate, and credible dispute resolutions.

Debatable claims

• ▪Prediction markets should resolve disputes through decentralized oracles rather than platform operators
• ▪Prediction markets should prioritize real-world risk hedging over speculative sports and crypto wagers
