## Why Use Polkadot Hub?

The Polkadot relay chain supports only its native token (DOT). Polkadot Hub fills this gap by providing a standardized framework for creating and managing fungible and non-fungible assets. It enables projects to issue tokens, manage supply, and transfer assets across parachains.

Foreign assets are assets originating from other chains and are managed on Polkadot Hub via the Foreign Assets pallet. This pallet provides similar operations as the native Assets pallet, enabling transfers, balance checks, and other standard asset operations. Most operations—like transfers and balance queries—use the same API, but with a few key differences:

Foreign assets are assets originating from other chains and are managed on Polkadot Hub via an instance of the Assets pallet that is configured specifically for foreign assets. It enables transfers, balance checks, and other standard asset operations, while handling foreign-asset specifics such as:
