CosmWasm
The WebAssembly-based smart contract framework for Cosmos chains. Contracts are written primarily in Rust, compiled to WASM, and uploaded to chains like Osmosis, Neutron, Sei, Juno. CosmWasm uses an actor model — contracts communicate via messages rather than synchronous calls. Different chains share the framework but each has its own state; contracts interact across chains via IBC.
