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.
Context ∞ WebAssembly Verification is gaining importance as more blockchain platforms adopt Wasm as a smart contract execution environment. Current discussions focus on the development of formal verification tools and techniques to guarantee the security properties of Wasm smart contracts. Ensuring the integrity of Wasm code is vital for preventing vulnerabilities that could lead to asset loss or network disruption, particularly as these platforms handle significant value.
