Base to activate B20 standard for stablecoins, RWAs and other tokens
Latest NewsPublishedJul 8, 2026
Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets Get a Boost with B20 Standard
The activation of the B20 token standard on the Base network is set to take place, enabling developers to create native tokens, including stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). This move is expected to simplify the process of creating new tokens, making it more accessible to a wider range of users. The B20 standard supports two variants: asset and stablecoin, each with its own set of features. As the crypto space continues to evolve, the need for stable and secure token standards becomes increasingly important for earning and managing digital assets.
The B20 standard is part of the network’s Beryl upgrade, which aims to improve network performance and provide a more robust framework for token creation. With the activation of B20, developers can create tokens that are compatible with standard ERC-20 tokens but come with built-in issuer controls, such as supply limits and transfer rules. This is particularly relevant for those interested in earning through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto, as it provides a more secure and stable environment for token creation and management.
Key Features of the B20 Standard
- Two variants: asset and stablecoin
- Configurable decimals for asset variant
- Fixed six-decimal formatting for stablecoin variant
- Built-in issuer controls, including supply limits and transfer rules
These features make the B20 standard an attractive option for developers looking to create stablecoins and tokenized assets. As the EcoPool network continues to grow, the need for secure and stable token standards becomes increasingly important for earning and managing digital assets, including $ECP.
What This Means for Earning and Passive Income
The activation of the B20 standard has significant implications for earning and passive income in the crypto space. With the ability to create stablecoins and tokenized assets, developers can provide more secure and stable investment opportunities for users. This, in turn, can lead to increased adoption and growth of the EcoPool network, providing more opportunities for earning and passive income through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto. As the network continues to evolve, it’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and advancements in token standards and management.
To start earning and managing your digital assets, including $ECP, download the EcoPool app and discover the benefits of Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto. With the EcoPool app, you can easily manage your tokens, including those created on the B20 standard, and start earning passive income today.

B20 was introduced as part of the network’s Beryl upgrade, which went live on June 26. The upgrade shortened withdrawal waiting periods from seven days to five days and added technical changes aimed at improving network performance.
Base said B20 tokens are compatible with standard ERC-20 tokens but come with built-in issuer controls. Those features include supply limits, transfer rules, minting, burning, pausing and transaction notes.
B20 activation follows Base outages
The B20 activation follows back-to-back outages linked to its sequencer infrastructure.
On June 25, Base encountered an outage caused by a consensus issue. At the time, the network said an invalid block had been sequenced, preventing new blocks from being created. Base resumed block production on the same day, after a nearly two-hour halt.

In a post-mortem, Base said that a sequencer bug caused back-to-back outages on June 25 and June 26. The first incident lasted for about 116 minutes, while a second outage lasted about 20 minutes after a race condition prevented sequencers from catching up after a system reset.
The initial outage occurred hours before the scheduled Beryl upgrade, which was delayed by one day due to a separate B20 activation registry timing issue.
