WASM (Web Assembly) is relatively new. How does EOS make use of WASM? And are there other blockchains working with WASM?
Smart contract in EOS are developed in C++, then compiled into wasm code using eosiocpp
(or eosio-cpp
) and uploaded to the blockchain using cleos set contract
. Why wasm? Read this post, basically for speed performances. Ethereum also seems to want to use wasm, there is a project called ewasm.
