# Managing the asset registry Aera is designed to place as little trust as possible in third parties like guardians and fee recipients. As a result, the client itself is the owner of the asset registry contract and is responsible for adding/removing assets as required. It's critical that the owner independently evaluates the correctness of any calldata sent to the asset registry. Adding an asset is a sensitive operation that could needlessly empower the guardian if an unsafe oracle is used for an asset. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
