Max Supply
Max supply refers to the maximum number of units or tokens of a particular cryptocurrency or digital asset that can be created or issued. This is typically a fixed limit that is defined in the protocol or code of the asset, and once the maximum supply has been reached, no more units can be created.
The maximum supply of a cryptocurrency is frequently used as a key component to define the scarcity and value of a cryptocurrency, although some cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum (ETH), have no maximum supply limit and their inflation rate is controlled by a consensus algorithm.
