# Mint / Issue

Minting creates new units of an asset, up to its hard supply cap. Only the vault that administers the asset can mint, and every mint is screened and signed by that vault's quorum.

**Required permissions:** Mint tokens (`MINT_TOKENS`) to create the movement.

**Prerequisites:** The vault administers the asset, the mint fits under the supply cap and the vault's limit, the destination is on the asset's whitelist, and the vault holds Bitcoin for fees.

1. Open **Movements** and select **New Movement**, or select **Mint** on the asset page.
2. **Movement type**: select **Mint / Issue**.
3. **Source and destination**: select the administering vault and the destination that receives the new tokens.
4. **Amount and asset**: select the asset, enter the amount and an optional description. Check that every policy check passes, including sanctions screening.
5. **Review and submit**: check the summary and select **Submit Movement**.

The vault's signers are notified and sign. When the threshold is met, the mint is broadcast.

Mints for authorised participants are created from the [redemption queue](/enterprise/redemption), so they carry the request's reference.
