## Flash Mintable Tokens
114114

115-
There are some proposed token designs that allow for so called "flash minting", which would allow
116-
tokens to be minted for the duration of one transaction only, provided they are returned to the
117-
token contract by the end of the transaction.

Some tokens (e.g. `DAI`) allow for so called "flash minting", which allows tokens to be minted for the duration
116+
of one transaction only, provided they are returned to the token contract by the end of the
117+
transaction.

This is similar to a flash loan, but does not require the tokens that are to be lent to exist before
120120
the start of the transaction. A token that can be flash minted could potentially have a total supply
121121
of max `uint256`.
