Base will activate the Beryl hard fork upgrade on the mainnet on June 26, introducing the B20 native token standard

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to official sources, Base is about to launch the Beryl hard fork upgrade, introducing the B20 native token standard, which shortens the final confirmation period for single-proof withdrawals from 7 days to 5 days, and upgrades Reth V2, reducing disk usage by 50% and increasing throughput by 33%.

Beryl will be activated on the Sepolia testnet at 2:00 AM UTC+8 on June 19, and on the mainnet at 2:00 AM UTC+8 on June 26.

B20 is Base’s native token standard, an ERC-20 compatible token implemented via Rust precompile, designed specifically for stablecoins, RWAs, and long-tail token issuers. It includes a built-in compliance toolkit, featuring transfer strategies, freezing and seizing, role-based access control, memos, and supply caps.
