+      ],
+      "hint": "Maintaining a hard cap involves restricting the ability to mint new tokens.",
+      "explanation": "To maintain a hard cap on the native token supply, a community running an Avalanche L1 blockchain should keep the Native Minter Precompile deactivated. By doing so, they prevent the creation of additional native tokens beyond the predefined limit. This ensures that the total supply remains fixed, which is essential for scenarios where a valueless gas token or a specific tokenomics structure is required. The Native Minter Precompile is deactivated by default, allowing blockchain creators to choose whether to enable or disable minting based on their economic models and requirements.",

 ## Performance and Cost
 
 Both approaches aim to offer higher transaction throughput and lower fees compared to traditional single-chain systems. Avalanche achieves this through parallel processing across its Avalanche L1s, while rollups offload computation off-chain. However, users of Layer 2 solutions might experience delays when transferring assets back to Layer 1. Furthermore, since Layer 2 systems need to checkpoint their activity to the L1, which effectively sets a price floor and couples the prices of the L1 gas token to the L2 gas token. In Avalanche, the gas tokens of an Avalanche L1 are completely independent from AVAX.
