Token Minting Flaw

Definition

A token minting flaw is a vulnerability or error within the smart contract code that governs the creation of new tokens, allowing for the unauthorized or unintended generation of additional tokens. This defect can lead to an inflationary supply, devaluing existing tokens and potentially causing significant financial losses for holders. Such a flaw compromises the fundamental economic integrity of a digital asset. It represents a severe security risk to the token’s ecosystem.
