The design overview and specification repository for Ethereum flavored WebAssembly (ewasm), a restricted Wasm subset intended as a successor to EVM1 for Ethereum smart contracts. It documents VM semantics, contract interfaces, the Ethereum environment interface, system contracts, and instruction metering.
Use cases
- understand the ewasm smart contract specification
- learn how WebAssembly could replace the EVM
- implement an ewasm virtual machine
- study Ethereum contract metering and determinism rules
- research the EVM to ewasm upgrade path
When to choose
- you are researching or implementing an ewasm-compatible VM or toolchain
- you need the authoritative design documents for Ethereum's Wasm contract interface
When to avoid
- you need a runnable implementation rather than a specification
- you want a production-ready smart contract execution environment - ewasm was never shipped on mainnet and the design is largely dormant
