Base Official Documentation Update: The B20 token standard will be officially activated on the mainnet at 2:00 on July 9 (Beijing time).
This is a second rescheduling. The original plan was to enable it on June 27, but due to stability issues it was pushed back by nearly two weeks. The team clearly doesn’t want to take risks on the settlement layer.
B20 is the native Base token format. Its core goal is to make settlement faster, cheaper, and more standardized—so that traditional financial assets can run on-chain in the form of “programmable capital,” and directly gain composability.
Key points to watch:
— If the new format goes live smoothly, the asset issuance logic on Base will be rewritten
— After activation, you need to verify whether the Activation Registry is enabled; developers should prepare for migration in advance
— Two delays indicate that underlying changes are substantial; volatility in the early launch period is something to be wary of
The next foundation layer of on-chain finance is being quietly replaced.
