Base-20

Base-20 is a fully community-driven experimental standard. Take part in the experiment at your own risk.There are several Base-20 tokens appearing in Basecriptions like $Base, but no one has defined the Base-20 token standard in basescan. Instead, different people deployed and minted those tokens, and other people writed indexers of Base-20 tokens. So far, the usual community indexers of Base-20 tokens are consistent and work properly. So this doc is written to describe the community-driven experimental Base-20 token standard in basescan simply.

1. Introducing Basecriptions

basescan are a new way of creating and sharing digital artifacts on basescan using transaction calldata. You can learn about basescan with following resources:Offical website: ​https://basescan.org/​

2. Concept of Base-20

• Deploy new Base-20 tokens with deploy events

• Mint Base-20 tokens with mint events

• Transfer Base-20 tokens with transfer events

3. Operations

3.1 Operation: Deploy

The deploy operation will deploy a Base-20 token.

Name	Key	Requried	Description
Protocol	p	yes	helps other systems identify and process Base-20 events
Operation	op	yes	type of event (Deploy, Mint, Transfer)
Ticker	tick	yes	the case insensitive identifier of Base-20
Max supply	max	yes	set max supply of the Base-20
Mint limit	lim	yes	set max amount that can be minted per basecription

Deploy Example:

line 3.1.1:

data:,{"p":"base-20","op":"deploy","tick":"base","max":"21000000","lim":"1000"}

Line 3.1.1 will deploy a base-20 token $base with max supply of 21,000,000 and limit 1000 per mint.line 3.1.2:

data:,{"p":"base-20","op":"deploy","tick":"TICKER_NAME","max":"MAX_SUPPLY","lim":"MINT_LIMIT"}Line 3.1.2 will deploy a base-20 token $TICKER_NAME with max supply of MAX_SUPPLY and limit MINT_LIMIT per mint.To deploy a specific base-20 token, just copy line 3.1.2 and replace TICKER_NAME, MAX_SUPPLY and MINT_LIMITwith real values.

3.2 Operation: Mint

The mint operation will mint base-20 tokens if the base-20 token is deployed.

Name	Key	Requried	Description
Protocol	p	yes	helps other systems identify and process base-20 events
Operation	op	yes	type of event (Deploy, Mint, Transfer)
Ticker	tick	yes	the case insensitive identifier of base-20
Identifier	id	yes	the unique identifier of the base-20 basecription
Amount to mint	amt	yes	state the amount of the base-20 to mint, less than "lim" above if stated

Mint Example:

line 3.2.1:

data:,{"p":"base-20","op":"mint","tick":"base","id":"1","amt":"1000"}

Line 3.2.1 will mint 1000 BASE-20 tokens $base and the unique erc-20 basecription identifier is "1".

line 3.2.2:

data:,{"p":"base-20","op":"mint","tick":"TICKER_NAME","id":"IDENTIFIER","amt":"MINT_AMOUNT"}

Line 3.2.2 will mint MINT_AMOUNT BASE-20 tokens $TICKER_NAME and the unique base-20 basecription identifier is IDENTIFIER.

To mint specific BASE-20 tokens, just copy line 3.2.2 and replace TICKER_NAME, IDENTIFIER and MINT_AMOUNT with real values.

3.3 Operation: Transfer

Currently, the community is using the transfer function of basecriptions to transfer base-20. The transfer operation remains to be developed.
