Currently asset creation costs 1 waves (~ $5). This fee ensures that nobody will create too many assets he don’t actually need, but still it’s affordable for anyone to create an asset or several ones. Waves is a platform for people to create their assets (tokens), so this is important.

Waves users in average create 40 assets, so 40 ways goes to miners and leasers daily.

Also, new assets and airdrops is useful thing to spam now. For 1 waves one can create new asset with links to scam sites in name or description, and send it to users’ wallets.

So the questions is: How much should asset creation cost?

If we increase fee, let’s say to 5 or 10 waves, it maybe not that attractive for new users to create new assets. Still it maybe profitable for spammers. But on other hand miner’s and leasers may get more fees and we’ll have less needless assets in blockchain.
