# Mint a Token

Issuing a security token in the Stobox 4 Business Space, also known as minting, does not require any technical knowledge; it is a simple, few-click process.

Note that the token properties are taken from Phase 4 of your tokenization framework. 

Once the token is minted, you cannot reissue it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**To mint a token, you must have your** 

* KYC approved and DID created for your personal Stobox 4 account
* KYB approved and DID created for your company
* Tokenization framework approved
* Some ETH ARB on your Stobox 4 Wallet - Crypto to pay the gas fee.

  [Use this guideline to deposit it](/helpcentre/help-centre/getting-started/manage-your-account/deposit-assets.md). 0.00025ETH is enough.

#### Step 1. Sign the Token Issuance Specification.

1. In your Projects, click the **Sign the Token Issuance Specification** (TIS).

A pop-up message will load.

And a document will load for you to review and sign. It is essentially a copy of your tokenization framework.

#### Step 4. Mint the Initial Supply of Your Tokens

{% hint style="info" %}
You can mint the tokens now or later. The tokens must be issued before you publish your offering.
{% endhint %}

*Now that the smart contract of your token is created, you can issue tokens, each of which will have the properties described in Phase 4 of your tokenization framework and embedded into the smart contract.*&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that you can issue no more tokens than the initial supply you indicated in yourr tokenization framework.
{% endhint %}

1. In the Token Management page, click the **Mint** button.
2. Enter the amount of tokens to mint, *less than or equal to your initial supply*, indicated in Phase 4 of the tokenization framework. For your convenience, you can see the initial supply amount on the screen.\
   Click **Next: Security Verification**.

{% hint style="success" %}

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The minted tokens are located on a special smart contract called **Treasury**.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/1q9WxCDjNVslqQnyiOim" alt=""><figcaption><p>Treasury view on the Token Management Page</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Treasury is where not only your security tokens are stored, but also the USDC you raise from investors.
{% endhint %}
