Bridge Hub Integration: View bridged assets from in Asset Hub in Wallet

[alistair-singh]

Fearture request: A user should be able to see any bridged assets that they own in their wallet.

Asset Hub now supports foreign assets bridged through Bridge Hub. These assets are stored in a different instance of the assets pallet called ForeignAssets from version 1.7 release of Asset Hub.

There are two bridges currently deployed in Rococo

1. Snowbridge (bridges to Sepolia Ethereum testnet)
2. Westend Bridge (bridges to Westend substrate based testnet)

For Snowbridge the token that is Bridged is WETH (Wrapped Ether). Please see docs for more information on how to interact with the bridge and query asset balances.

We have plans for launch in Kusama and Polkadot (bridging to Ethereum mainnet) by the end of March.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @alistair-singh. I'll raise it with our product team and we will prioritise; in the meantime, you are welcome to submit a PR to our balances modules to help us support the ForeignAssets pallet.

@chidg @alecdwm FYI SubWallet has added support for foreign assets here: Koniverse/SubWallet-Extension@3218c6f - hopefully code is useful as a reference

@chidg bump on this. we are now live on polkadot mainnet (https://app.snowbridge.network/) and users can't see their assets in their wallet due to lack of foreign asset support.
