B20 features not activated in ActivationRegistry on mainnet post-Beryl #1142

Description

@xam-dev-ux

Summary

After Beryl activated on mainnet (block ~47,810,800, 18:00 UTC June 25), createB20 calls to the B20Factory precompile revert with FeatureNotActivated(bytes32) for both B20_ASSET and B20_STABLECOIN.

Repro

cast call 0xB20f000000000000000000000000000000000000 \

# Error: execution reverted, data: "0xb9b2a425cdcc772fe4cbdb1029f822861176d09e646db96723d4c1e82ddfdeb8163ef54c"

Decoding:

  • 0xb9b2a425 = FeatureNotActivated(bytes32) selector
  • 0xcdcc772f... = keccak256("base.b20_asset") — the B20_ASSET feature ID
  • Same error with B20_STABLECOIN (0xecfa0def...)

Root cause

The ActivationRegistry (0x8453000000000000000000000000000000000001) shows both features as inactive on mainnet:

cast call 0x8453000000000000000000000000000000000001 \
  "isActivated(bytes32)(bool)" \
  0xcdcc772fe4cbdb1029f822861176d09e646db96723d4c1e82ddfdeb8163ef54c \
  --rpc-url https://mainnet.base.org
# false

cast call 0x8453000000000000000000000000000000000001 \
  "isActivated(bytes32)(bool)" \
  0xecfa0def2c10020caaf65e6155aa69c84b24892aaef76eeac52e0e2b3a0b8601 \
  --rpc-url https://mainnet.base.org
# false

There are zero FeatureActivated events on mainnet since the Beryl activation block. On Sepolia both features return true.

The ActivationRegistry admin is 0xcE3a3bEE7E72E2A24079f3c0Cb3b97740ED425A9 — the activation call (activate(bytes32)) was apparently not executed as part of the mainnet Beryl rollout, unlike on Sepolia.

Impact

No B20 tokens can be created on mainnet. Any call to B20Factory.createB20 (directly or via a contract) reverts for both variants.

Expected

Both B20_ASSET and B20_STABLECOIN features should be activated in the ActivationRegistry, as they are on Sepolia, consistent with the announced Beryl activation on June 25.
