Very important insights, and I support your suggestion to add an "initial supply" parameter, that cannot be changed, and does not allow to silently print more tokens to the tribe owner.
How does max supply work? Does it stop both manual token printing and reward printing, when this number is reached?
You cannot print past max supply. I’m not sure how much this has been tested as most tokens haven’t hit it but I assume it works. At that point you can only trade.
