I want to know the maximum possible supply of ERC20 tokens. Is there a limit to how many ERC20 tokens can be created or is the supply potentially infinite?

The ERC20 implementation defines the supply as an uint256 variable.

Exceeding this limit would result in an overflow, which is a critical issue in blockchain programming.

Solidity, the programming language used for Ethereum smart contracts, has taken measures to prevent such overflows.

In version 0.8 of Solidity, an overflow would cause the transaction to revert by default if not handled with unchecked arithmetic.
