Base engineers describe B20 as a superset of the <span>ERC-20<\/span> standard, meaning tokens built on it stay compatible with existing wallets, exchanges, and decentralized apps.<\/p>\n<p>Tokens issued under B20 run as Rust precompiles. Network engineers say this approach lowers transaction costs, reduces the amount of data <span>nodes<\/span> need to store, and increases throughput compared to standard <span>smart contract<\/span> tokens.<\/p>\n<h2>Built-In Compliance Tools<\/h2>\n<p>Base built B20 with <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/your-stablecoins-could-be-frozen-without-warning-even-if-you-did-nothing-wrong\/\">stablecoin<\/a> issuers and tokenized asset platforms in mind. The standard ships with compliance tools, including role-based permissions, optional supply caps, and a policy registry that lets issuers set transfer rules for specific addresses.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_824800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-824800\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-824800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: Base blog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Issuers can also freeze or seize tokens from blocked addresses through a function called burnBlocked, a feature aimed at companies operating under regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeryl makes Base a first-class issuance platform with the B20 token standard, more capital efficient with a reduced withdrawal delay, and more scalable with Reth V2,\u201d Conner Swenberg and Base Engineering Team said this week.<\/p>\n<p>Two B20 token types are available at launch. Asset tokens support configurable decimals and rebasing. <span>Stablecoin<\/span> tokens use a fixed six decimals and a self-declared currency code.<\/p>\n<h2>Faster Withdrawals, Leaner <span>Nodes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beryl also shortens the withdrawal finalization window for the single-proof bridge path from seven days to five. Base added a faster dual-proof option during its prior Azul upgrade in May, which already settles in about one day.<\/p>\n<p>A separate change swaps in Reth V2, an updated execution client from Paradigm. Base says the new client cuts <span>node<\/span> disk usage by roughly half and raises throughput by about a third.<\/p>\n<h2>What <span>Node<\/span> Operators Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p> <span>Node<\/span> operators running Base infrastructure need to upgrade their software to base\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-bitcoin-node\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">node<\/a> version 1.1.1 or later before the June 25 activation. Base says most users and existing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-smart-contract\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">smart contracts<\/a> require no action.<\/p>\n<p>The Beryl testnet version went live on Base Sepolia on June 18. Exchanges, including Binance, have signaled plans for temporary deposit and withdrawal pauses around the mainnet activation window.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead to Cobalt<\/h2>\n<p>Base has another upgrade, called Cobalt, planned for September. Engineers say that the release will add native account abstraction and further updates to the B20 standard.<\/p>\n<p>The pace of the two upgrades, Azul in May and Beryl in June, points to Base moving quickly to compete for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stablecoin<\/a> and tokenized asset issuance among layer-two ( <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-the-difference-between-layer-zero-one-two-and-three-blockchains\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">L2<\/a>) networks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/base-activates-beryl-upgrade-june-25-as-b20-token-standard-goes-live\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Base activates the Beryl upgrade on mainnet June 25, 2026, at 18:00 UTC.
