Definition ∞ An issuance threshold is a predefined minimum condition that must be met before new digital assets or tokens can be created. This condition might involve a specific amount of collateral locked, a certain level of network activity, or a governance vote reaching a quorum. It serves as a control mechanism to manage the supply of a digital asset, ensuring its stability, scarcity, or alignment with underlying reserves. Such thresholds are critical for maintaining the economic integrity of a tokenized system.
Context ∞ Issuance thresholds are often a topic in news concerning stablecoin designs, algorithmic tokens, or new blockchain protocols. Discussions typically focus on how these thresholds affect the elasticity of supply, the stability of the asset’s value, and the overall economic model, particularly in response to market demand or protocol requirements.
