About WebAssembly

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications.

The Wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms.

WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser.

WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of Wasm modules on the web.

Rio Terminal
Rio Terminal
(1 Rating)
Rio is a terminal application that’s built with Rust, WebGPU, Tokio runtime. It targets to have the best frame per second experience as long you want, but is also configurable to use as minimal from GPU. The terminal renderer is based on redux state machine, lines that has not updated will not suffer a redraw. Looking for the minimal rendering process in most of the time. Rio is also designed to support WebAssembly runtime so in the future you will be able to define how a tab system will work with a WASM plugin written in your favorite language. Rio uses WGPU, which is an implementation of WebGPU for use outside of a browser and as backend for Firefox’s WebGPU implementation. WebGPU allows for more efficient usage of modern GPU’s than WebGL.

Modsurfer
Modsurfer
Modsurfer provides ops & dev teams with the first system-of-record and diagnostics application to search, browse, validate, audit, and investigate WebAssembly binaries. At-a-glance insights into WebAssembly module data (code size & complexity, imports/exports & more). Search for details about modules (hash, ID, function names, strings, namespaces, errors & more). Easily audit and track all the WebAssembly code in your stack. Debug & triage issues otherwise difficult to pinpoint in opaque WebAssembly format. Write or generate a "check file" to track binary requirements. If a module fails validation, a helpful report is created to get things back on track. Validate your modules for import/export existence, function signature, security compliance, runtime complexity, & more. The CLI puts all your Modsurfer data at your fingertips and is the easiest way to interact with the Modsurfer desktop or enterprise server.

Shiden
Shiden
Shiden Network is a multi-chain decentralized application layer on Kusama Network. Kusama Relaychain does not support smart contract functionality by design - Kusama Network needs a smart contract layer. This is where Shiden Network comes in. Shiden supports Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, and Layer2 solutions from day one. The platform supports various applications like DeFi, NFTs and more. SDN token holders can stake their tokens on favorite dApps so that both nominators and the dApps developer can earn SDN tokens. If you are trying to deploy Solidity smart contracts, you have 2 ways to compile your smart contract: using Ethereum tools, or using Solang (a Solidity to WASM compiler). After compiling your contract, you can deploy it on our testnet, Dusty Network.

WebContainers
WebContainers
WebContainers, developed by StackBlitz, are a browser-based runtime environment that enables the execution of Node.js applications and operating system commands directly within a web browser tab. This technology allows developers to build instant, interactive coding experiences, from tutorials to full-fledged integrated development environments, without the need for local setups or cloud-based virtual machines. By running entirely client-side, WebContainers offer unmatched user experiences with zero latency, offline capabilities, and enhanced security, as they eliminate the risks associated with server-side code execution. They support native Node.js toolchains, including npm, pnpm, and yarn, and are compatible with major modern frameworks. Additionally, WebContainers facilitate the running of WebAssembly (Wasm) out of the box, allowing for the porting of various languages and frameworks to the browser environment.
