Wasmi - WebAssembly (Wasm) Interpreter

Wasmi is an efficient and lightweight WebAssembly interpreter with a focus on constrained and embedded systems.

Distinct Features

  • Simple, correct and deterministic execution of WebAssembly.
  • Efficient and cross-platform WebAssembly runtime for nostd embedded environments.
  • Compiler/JIT bomb resisting translation.
  • Loosely mirrors the Wasmtime API to act as drop-in replacement.
  • 100% WebAssembly spec testsuite compliance.
  • Built-in support for fuel metering.
  • Supports the official Wasm C-API.

Security Audits

Wasmi is suitable for safety critical use cases and has been audited twice.
