 ### Wire format
 
 Every contract must be stored in the [WebAssembly Binary Encoding](https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEncoding.md) format (in short, WASM bytecode).

 The Ethereum Environment Interface exposes the core Ethereum API to the ewasm environment. The Ethereum [module](https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/Modules.md) will be implemented in the Ethereum client's native language. All parameters and returns are restricted to 32 or 64 bit integers. Floats are disallowed.
