On November 4th, Polkadot is consolidating its core system services into Asset Hub, turning it into the ecosystem’s superchain: Polkadot Hub. That's one coherent environment where all these work together, powered by Elastic Scaling, natively interoperable w/ Polkadot's rollups: → assets → staking → bridges → smart contracts, yes, smart contracts The earlier design created fragmentation because these services were separated across multiple chains. Beyond unifying infra, this makes Polkadot Hub the gateway to the broader ecosystem. A kind of digital bazaar where users, liquidity, and apps first meet before expanding outward. This process has just been successfully executed on Kusama. Polkadot is up next.(Polkadot)
