CBRC20
Ment Tech Labs collaborated with CBRC20 to build a new community token standard for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Designed for scalability, interoperability, and security, the CBRC20 framework empowers creators to launch meme tokens with real functionality and on-chain governance, all while inheriting Bitcoin’s trusted security model.

Client Type
CBRC20 emerged from a collective vision to bring creativity and community utility to Bitcoin. While Ethereum and other chains had long supported token creation and meme economies, Bitcoin lacked a structured, secure way to do the same without compromising its core stability. The CBRC20 team set out to change that by building a token standard that could merge Bitcoin’s unmatched security with the playfulness and innovation of meme culture.
To make this possible, CBRC20 partnered with Ment Tech Labs to design a scalable framework for token creation, trading, and governance on Bitcoin. Together, we developed tools that allow communities to launch, trade, and manage tokens directly within the Bitcoin network while staying true to its decentralized foundation.

Bringing Token Innovation to the Bitcoin Network
Before the CBRC20 standard took shape, token creation on Bitcoin was fragmented, experimental, and lacked usability for mainstream creators. The team needed a structured, developer-friendly framework that upheld Bitcoin’s security while unlocking new layers of creativity and community participation.
Lack of Token Standardization
Bitcoin had no unified protocol for meme or community tokens, leading to compatibility issues and inconsistent functionality across tools and wallets.
Limited Interoperability
Existing experiments around Ordinals and inscriptions lacked bridges between wallets, explorers, and marketplaces, restricting token visibility and liquidity.
Complex Token Creation Process
Non-technical users struggled to deploy tokens due to manual inscription steps and unclear metadata management across the Bitcoin network.
Scalability and Transaction Cost Management
With Bitcoin’s base layer constraints, designing an efficient system that supports frequent trading and community activity was a major challenge.
Governance and Community Control
There was no secure way to integrate community voting or DAO-like functionality without external smart contract systems or off-chain dependencies.
Ment Tech’s Approach
Building CBRC20 meant working within Bitcoin’s strict limits while introducing a new layer of flexibility for creators and communities. Ment Tech Labs approached the challenge with one goal: to make token creation on Bitcoin as easy and reliable as ERC20 on Ethereum, without compromising decentralization or security.
