🧐 Why #WASM Smart Contracts? It comes down to a fundamental question regarding Security, scalability, and industry standards. We feel that #WASM Smart Contracts is the future that aligns with 👁 Gavin Wood's vision. With performance, execution, lower costs, and user experience becoming major drivers for WASM Smart Contracts, we can see why the future is becoming WASM! Flexibility is very important, too. WASM is compatible with various languages such as C, C+, & Rust! 🛡 Security is the top priority. With WASM, it's less vulnerable than Solidity's byte code and has improved error handling.

𝐗𝐕𝐌 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐚! Most teams are accustomed to an #EVM environment. Even though WASM is the future, we understand using #EVM is now. So instead of focusing only on WASM, we made a ⛓ Cross-Virtual Machine (XVM) where devs can build future-proof WASM smart contracts without leaving their EVM projects.

📢 Attention, Community! With the dApp Staking V3 coming up, we want to get the communities feedback, opinions, and ideas! With dApp Staking, the sole purpose is to incentivize devs & builders to build on our platforms. Holders of $ASTR & $SDN can vote for registered dApps while both the dApp developer & the nominator receive rewards. Over the year, the community has voiced concerns about Registration & unregistration being fully decentralized, not all registered dApps being the same & more. Here are some things we like to achieve scalable dApp rewards, a limited amount of rewards that a single dApp can earn, a dApp tier system, & more. 💡 The conclusion is with enough voices, we can shape the next stage of dApp staking! We encourage everyone to join us on our dApps Staking v3 Proposal.
