Issuance Token Types

The public issuance surface currently exposes three token templates:

Template	Defaults	Notes
stablecoin	6 decimals, permanent delegate + pausable extensions, default account state initialized	Intended for fiat-backed token patterns with compliance controls.
tokenized-security	8 decimals, allowlist required, permanent delegate + pausable + scaled UI amount extensions, default account state frozen	Regulated asset flows with stronger defaults.
custom	9 decimals default (up to 18 max), extension set is fully configurable	Use when your requirements do not match preset templates.

These defaults are sourced from the API implementation in apps/sdp-api/src/services/issuance/templates/definitions.ts.

Amount format

Mint, burn, seize, and force-burn request bodies accept amount as a decimal string in UI units — the human-readable token value (for example "1" or "1.5"). SDP converts to on-chain base units using the token's decimals. This differs from wallet balance responses, which return both raw amount and uiAmount.
