CosmWasm

CosmWasm is a smart contract platform designed for the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem. It allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) using WebAssembly (Wasm), offering a secure and efficient environment for smart contracts. One of CosmWasm's standout features is its compatibility with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, enabling contracts built on CosmWasm to interact with other blockchains in the Cosmos network. This cross-chain interoperability allows for a wide range of applications, from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to supply chain solutions, all while benefiting from the scalability and security of the Cosmos ecosystem. CosmWasm supports contract development in the Rust programming language, known for its memory safety and performance, making it attractive for building complex dApps in a secure manner.
