Ethereum flavored WebAssembly (ewasm)

Specification Revision 4

This repository contains documents describing the design and high-level overview of ewasm. Expect the contents of this repository to be in flux: everything is still under discussion.

This repository is also available through ReadTheDocs.

What is WebAssembly?

WebAssembly (or Wasm as a contraction) is a new, portable, size- and load-time-efficient format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms. WebAssembly is currently being designed as an open standard by a W3C Community Group.

Please review the WebAssembly design and instruction set first. (You can also make a pull request or raise an issue at the Wasm Github repo.)
