Base Chain Speed Improvements

Base is scaling its onchain economy through the **B20 token standard**, a new framework designed to accelerate asset tokenization on the network. **Key developments:** - The B20 standard enables broader asset tokenization across Base - Open USD launched on Base using the B20 token standard - The initiative aims to expand the Base economy by bringing more real-world assets onchain The B20 standard represents Base's infrastructure play to standardize how assets are represented and traded on its network, potentially simplifying the technical barriers to tokenization.

**Tuyo**, a new money app built on Base, has introduced a payment card with an unusual twist: **every purchase you make might cost you nothing**. The concept is simple but intriguing - when you swipe the card, there's a chance your transaction will be free. The app markets this as "buy now, pay maybe," turning everyday purchases into a potential lottery. **Key features:** - Built on Base blockchain infrastructure - Payment card with randomized free transactions - Gamifies everyday spending The app represents another step in bringing crypto-native financial products into daily use, though questions remain about the economic model and how the "free" purchases are subsidized. No details have been released about the odds of receiving a free transaction or the mechanics behind the system.

**CryptoFilles is building Liminal Cash**, the first AI-centered stablecoin neobank on Base.
