# TokenMint

Mints tokens to the Token's treasury Account. If no Supply Key is defined, the transaction will resolve to `TOKEN_HAS_NO_SUPPLY_KEY`.

The operation increases the Total Supply of the Token. The maximum total supply a token can have is `2^63-1`.

The amount provided must be in the lowest denomination possible.\
Example:Token A has 2 decimals. In order to mint `100` tokens, one must provide amount of 10000. In order to mint `100.55` tokens, one must provide amount of `10055`.
