Hidden mint functions

A mint function in a token's contract lets its owner create new tokens whenever they like.

What it means

A large mint can multiply the supply at once, so each token is a smaller share and selling the new tokens can push the price down.

What to watch

Whether the code has a mint function, who is allowed to call it, and whether the total supply has a fixed maximum.
