Issuance Framework

Definition

An issuance framework is a set of rules and procedures governing the creation and distribution of new assets. For digital assets, this refers to the predefined protocol or regulatory guidelines that dictate how new tokens or cryptocurrencies are generated, allocated, and released into circulation. It specifies parameters such as total supply, distribution schedule, minting mechanisms (e.g., proof-of-work, proof-of-stake), and any initial offering conditions. A clear issuance framework is fundamental for an asset’s economic stability and transparency.
