Identify the reissuance token before promising a Liquid supply increase
Holding units of an issued asset does not grant the authority to mint additional units. Elements uses a separate reissuance token with its own asset identifier.
Inspect the original issuance record
Use the asset ID in the issuer wallet. Find the original entry and note the distinct token ID and the issued token amount. A blinded amount unknown to this wallet can be reported as minus one.
elements-cli listissuances "$ASSET" | jq '.[] | select(.isreissuance == false) | {asset,token,tokenamount,txid,vin}'
Check possession separately
An original issuance that created a token is historical evidence. Confirm that a wallet under the intended issuer's control currently holds a spendable token output before planning reissuance. The token may have moved elsewhere since issuance. Never infer current minting authority from the display label or issued asset balance.
