Mint a token
Minting fungible token allows you to increase the total supply of the token. Minting a non-fungible token creates an NFT with its unique metadata for the class of NFTs defined by the token ID. The Supply Key must sign the transaction.
- If no Supply Key is defined, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN_HAS_NO_SUPPLY_KEY. The maximum total supply a token can have is 2^63-1.
- The amount provided must be in the lowest denomination possible.
- Example: Token A has 2 decimals. In order to mint 100 tokens, one must provide an amount of 10000. In order to mint 100.55 tokens, one must provide an amount of 10055.
- The metadata field is specific to NFTs. Once an NFT is minted, the metadata cannot be changed and is immutable.
- You can use the metadata field to add a URI that contains additional information about the token. You can view the metadata schema here. The metadata field has a 100-character limit.
- The serial number for the NFT is returned in the receipt of the transaction.
- When minting NFTs, do not set the amount. The amount is used for minting fungible tokens only.
Transaction Signing Requirements
- Supply key
- Transaction fee payer account key
Transaction Fees
Method | Type | Description | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
setTokenId(<tokenId>) | TokenId | The token ID for which to mint additional tokens | Required |
setAmount(<amount>) | long | Applicable to tokens of type FUNGIBLE_COMMON.The amount to mint to the Treasury Account. The amount must be a positive non-zero number represented in the lowest denomination of the token. The new supply must be lower than 2^63-1. | Optional |
setMetadata(<metaDatas>) | List<byte[]> | Applicable to tokens of type NON_FUNGIBLE_UNIQUE. A list of metadata that are being created. The maximum allowed size of each metadata is 100 bytes and is immutable. | Optional |
addMetadata(<metaData>) | byte [] | Applicable to tokens of type NON_FUNGIBLE_UNIQUE. A list of metadata that are being created. The maximum allowed size of each metadata is 100 bytes and is immutable. | Optional |
