The Polkadot ecosystem is entering a new phase, as both Polkadot and its experimental sister network Kusama prepare to migrate to Asset Hub, a framework designed to streamline token issuance and boost scalability.

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, confirmed it will fully back the transition, taking charge of technical requirements and shielding users from disruption.

While deposits and withdrawals will briefly pause on each network during the switch, trading activity for DOT and KSM will continue as normal.

Kusama’s migration is slated for October 7, with Polkadot following on November 4. After each upgrade, Binance will reopen deposits and withdrawals once stability is confirmed. The exchange emphasized that users will not need to take any action themselves.

For the projects, the shift to Asset Hub marks more than just a technical migration. It introduces a unified, secure structure for managing digital assets across parachains, a move seen as vital to the long-term growth of the Polkadot ecosystem.

Kusama, known as Polkadot’s proving ground, will be the first to test the system before it goes live on the main network.

By supporting the process, Binance ensures its users stay connected while the networks modernize their foundations. For both Kusama and Polkadot, the migration signals a step toward greater efficiency and resilience at a time when scalability and security remain top priorities for blockchain adoption.
