Polkadot is a network consisting of numerous independent blockchains, referred to as parachains. These parachains operate simultaneously to facilitate quicker transactions, all while enjoying the security and decentralization of Polkadot as a whole.

The Polkadot Asset Hub is a parachain created for the common good, with the purpose of creating and sending fungible and non-fungible (NFTs) tokens throughout the entire Polkadot ecosystem.

We distinguish between two Asset Hubs - One for Polkadot and one for Kusama. Both are supported on KodaDot.

• Polkadot Asset Hub (Ahp) - native token is DOT

• Kusama Asset Hub (Ahk) - native token is KSM

Minting

In both cases, you pay deposits that will be returned if you decide to burn the collection/NFT you created. Minting on Polkadot AssetHub is more expensive.

Note: As a system parachain, the Asset Hub has a trusted relationship with the Relay Chain and, as such, can teleport DOT/KSM between itself and the Relay Chain. That is, DOT/KSM on the Asset Hub is just as good as KSM on the Relay Chain.
