Is there a way to bind an Asset canister to a dedicated Motoko canister ? If I have a dfx.json file with two canister, an Asset canister for a frontend application and a backend Motoko canister, which is hosting the data. How can I make sure, that only the frontend canister can query the public functions from the Motoko canister ? ---

Hey @rbole, the asset canister doesn’t call/query your backend canister. The asset canister only holds static assets that your browser will download. It’s the application in your browser that will call/query your backend canister with the Identity you attach to the agent. ---
