Cardano (ADA) brought its CIP-0113 programmable token standard to mainnet on October 7, 2026, giving issuers a way to embed compliance rules in native Cardano assets, according to Cardano Foundation.

CIP-0113 reached mainnet on October 7, 2026

CIP-0113 is a programmable token standard, meaning issuers can attach transfer rules to an asset rather than applying them only through an outside service. The rules can cover identity checks, sanctions screening, freezing, seizing and transfer restrictions for stablecoins, tokenized funds, bonds and other regulated assets, Cardano said on October 7, 2026.

The standard keeps these assets native to Cardano's extended unspent transaction output ledger model. Cardano said the launch required no hard fork, which is a change to the network's underlying consensus rules, and listed support from Eternl, GeroWallet, CardanoScan and BloxBean on October 7, 2026.

Epoch 660 set a 1.78 million transaction mark

Cardano processed 1,780,896 transactions during Epoch 660, which covered October 6 through October 11, 2026, according to TokenPost. The figure exceeded the previous record of 1,566,974 transactions from Epoch 304 in November 2021. The network generated 337,720 ADA in fees and averaged 83.83 transactions per block during the period.

The new token rules also carry a control tradeoff for regulated assets. CoinDesk reported on October 7, 2026, that authorized parties may be able to move some tokens without a holder's consent, depending on the rules selected by the issuer.
