WTF is WebAssembly Execution Environment? What actually powers smart contracts on the Internet Computer? It’s not just Motoko or Rust. It’s WebAssembly (Wasm), and the Wasm Execution Environment is one of ICP’s greatest unsung innovations. Let’s break it down👇 1/6🧵

2/6🧵 What is it? The Wasm Execution Environment on ICP runs all smart contracts (called canisters) across the network. It ensures they execute securely, efficiently, and in sync across all nodes. Think of it as the decentralized engine room of the Internet Computer.

@ICPHUBS Most blockchains stop at “language support.” ICP goes deeper — Wasm gives smart contracts a universal engine. That’s why Motoko, Rust, Python (soon) all run seamlessly.

@ICPHUBS Awesome exploration of WebAssembly Execution Environment by ICP team!

@ICPHUBS It's not only Motoko or Rust, its also PHP now :) It's still WIP, but very promising @WaspTechnology uiukd-xyaaa-aaaad-qhonq-cai.icp0.io

@ICPHUBS WebAssembly is a game-changer for smart contracts on the Internet Computer. So exciting!
