WebAssembly Verification

Definition

WebAssembly Verification is the process of confirming the correctness and security of code compiled into the WebAssembly (Wasm) binary instruction format. In the context of blockchains that support Wasm for smart contracts, this verification ensures that the code executes as intended, adheres to security policies, and does not contain malicious functions. It is a crucial step for maintaining the integrity and safety of decentralized applications. This process validates the computational logic before deployment or execution.
