Cardano merges CIP-113 programmable token standard with issuer controls
- —CIP-113 merged into Cardano's main repository on Sept. 29, still listed as Proposed
- —Standard gives issuers transfer controls, freezes and denylists for native assets
- —A freeze on one token can block unrelated tokens and ADA sharing the same eUTXO output
- —Unfracking can separate assets, but requires the token policy's separation rules to allow it
Why it matters: Cardano gains compliance infrastructure for regulated stablecoins and RWAs, but wallets and DeFi protocols must account for assets becoming temporarily unspendable when bundled in shared outputs.
