Issuance analysis identifies the entity creating the token and the obligations associated with it. The process should connect supply creation to the holder’s legal position.[1]
Understanding the question
Describe how funds or assets are received, who authorises minting and how records are reconciled. Identify the issuer’s contractual commitments and the relevant regulatory scope. A technical ability to mint does not answer whether or how the product may be offered.[1]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Issuer | Who creates the token and owes the relevant obligations? |
| Backing | What is received or maintained against issuance? |
| Controls | Who approves supply changes and reconciles records? |
Put it into practice
If a platform can mint through an issuer interface, the legal and operational documents should explain the limits of that authority.
