user2734: I wanted to understand if you could place a hard limit on the number of tokens minted under a policy.
I've scanned the docs and the policy.script only seems to control permission and the amount of time before the policy is locked.
I'm wondering if this is possible, and if not - what stops NFT creators just minting more than they say they will?
Many thanks

user1097: With a Plutus script, you can absolutely limit the number by ensuring not more than a certain number has been minted by putting it into the validator.

user28: There is not a way to specify the limit for a given native asset in the policy.
Only, once the policy is timelocked, you have the guarantee that the NFT creator does not mint or burn the NFTs.
