<p>I wanted to understand if you could place a hard limit on the number of tokens minted under a policy.
I've scanned the docs and the policy.script only seems to control permission and the amount of time before the policy is locked.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if this is possible, and if not - what stops NFT creators just minting more than they say they will?</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>

Can you the number of NFT's that can be minted in a transaction?

There is not a way to specify the limit for a given native asset in the policy.

Only, once the policy is `timelock`ed, you have the guarantee that the NFT creator does not mint or burn the NFTs.
