Asset Hub Tutorials¶
Benefits of Asset Hub¶
Polkadot SDK-based relay chains focus on security and consensus, leaving asset management to an external component, such as a system chain. The Asset Hub is one example of a system chain and is vital to managing tokens which aren't native to the Polkadot ecosystem. Developers opting to integrate with Asset Hub can expect the following benefits:
- Support for non-native on-chain assets - create and manage your own tokens or NFTs with Polkadot ecosystem compatibility available out of the box
- Lower transaction fees - approximately 1/10th of the cost of using the relay chain
- Reduced deposit requirements - approximately 1/100th of the deposit required for the relay chain
- Payment of fees with non-native assets - no need to buy native tokens for gas, increasing flexibility for developers and users
