Mint
The record that defines a token, and the act of creating new tokens.
Each token has a mint account that stores its total supply, its decimals and who holds special permissions. The address of the mint is the address people share when they talk about a token. It is also called the contract address or CA.
Why it matters
Always copy the CA from an official source and compare it, not just the name or picture.
