Trueo ditches Base to launch prediction market on Ethereum mainnet

Trueo is packing its bags and moving its prediction market from Base back to Ethereum. The platform originally chose the Layer 2 network to dodge high transaction costs, but the team now says Ethereum mainnet offers the kind of deep integration potential that Base can't match. It's a bold pivot away from the scaling narrative that's dominated the industry for the last year. While Ethereum gas fees were once a dealbreaker, Trueo's leadership believes the liquidity and connectivity on the base layer outweigh the savings found elsewhere. This move puts the project right in the middle of DeFi's busiest hub, even if it means users have to pay a premium to play. Will other protocols follow suit and trade low fees for mainnet's massive network effects?
