>That's when they minted more FTT.

Can you explain how exactly they did this? I want to understand, on a technical level, how they "minted" more of these tokens.

[dibt]

When/who can unlock/mint token supply is defined in a smart contract. It's different for each smart contract.

Here's the code for the FTT Deployer contract:

I'm not familiar enough with the Ethereum's Solidity programming language to give you an explanation.

It looks like it's an OpenZeppelin template. I've seen these re-used elsewhere. You can look through their docs to understand it better.
