Supply Cap

Market

Maximum number of tokens that can ever exist.

A supply cap sets the maximum tokens that can exist, shaping scarcity and valuation. Some networks use fixed caps, while others use inflation or burns without a strict cap.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why set a supply cap?
    To define scarcity and prevent unlimited dilution. It helps investors model value over time.
  • Can a cap be changed?
    Only if contracts or governance allow it. Changes can reduce trust and should be rare and transparent.
  • Where do I verify the cap?
    Check the token contract for mint limits and read audits or docs for issuance rules.
