B20<\/strong> standard, designed specifically for issuing stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA).<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnlike traditional ERC-20 tokens that operate as smart contracts, B20 utilizes precompiled modules integrated directly into the node software. This architecture enables significantly higher efficiency and provides issuers with built-in management tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new standard includes features such as customizable user roles, transfer restrictions, and the ability to temporarily freeze or seize assets when required by regulators. These capabilities position B20 as a specialized infrastructure for institutional participants and regulated financial products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the new token standard, Beryl will reduce the time required to withdraw funds from Base<\/strong> to Ethereum<\/strong>. The standard waiting window will be shortened from seven to five days, aiming to improve the user experience and ecosystem liquidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPerformance enhancements and node efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The update also integrates Reth V2<\/strong>, a new version of the execution client. Developers expect this to reduce the disk space required to run nodes by up to 50%, making infrastructure management more efficient while boosting overall network performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEarlier today, Base encountered a separate technical glitch where block production halted for approximately two hours due to a consensus error triggered by an invalid block. However, the team stressed that this incident has no connection to the Beryl delay or the preparation of the B20 Activation Registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the resolution of the issue, the blockchain resumed normal operations with no impact on user funds or network integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cobalt: The next major milestone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Beryl is part of a broader strategy for Base to build infrastructure tailored for institutional financial applications and RWA tokenization. The next major network update, named Cobalt<\/strong>, is currently planned for September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCobalt is expected to introduce further enhancements to the B20 standard, as Base seeks to solidify its position among Ethereum Layer 2 solutions and attract more institutional developers and asset issuers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
