It’s been bombarded by tiny super fast collisions.
When we consider that it’s about 5 miles (8 km) long and 2 miles (3.5 km) wide, then some of those craters took good hits. I assume any future interstellar craft would need some sort of force field or be armor plated to protect from it from such collisions.
The numbers of objects we have observed / plotted in the belt are likely dwarfed many fold by those not observed. So yes, there’s a lot to see in the Belt :)
