Token issuance

The creation and distribution of new asset units under protocol or contract rules.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Issuance explains how new units enter the system. It might follow a schedule, respond to deposits or depend on an authorized role. Those details connect a supply number to the rules behind it: who can create more units, under what conditions and whether an enforced limit exists.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

The token's authorized issuance rule creates new units, so the supply changes rather than existing units simply moving between wallets.
