In the rapid blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem, token minting is a critical process that allows projects to create new digital tokens. It may be a utility token, a governance token, or stablecoin, but it is minting that defines how and when new tokens enter the circulation pool. Although token economies require minting, unregulated token minting—if left without definite rules and oversight—threatens a risk of quite considerable magnitude to the reliability, safety, and trustworthiness of a blockchain project.
