The Base Layer 2 network has activated its Beryl mainnet upgrade, introducing faster withdrawal times, a new B20 token standard, and performance improvements.

The previous update, known as Azul, marked a major transition in the Base architecture. It laid the foundation for faster iteration cycles, allowing the network to deploy updates more frequently rather than waiting for long release intervals typical of previous Layer 2 systems.
