About:
IcWasm is a command-line tool designed to manipulate WebAssembly (Wasm) modules specifically for Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) canisters. It provides specialized transformations like metadata stripping, shrinking, and optimization to prepare canisters for deployment on the ICP network. Its main value is enabling developers to efficiently process and optimize canister Wasm binaries for the unique constraints of the IC.

Key Features:

Specialized Wasm transformations for ICP canisters
Canister metadata stripping and optimization
CLI interface for automation and scripting
Wasm module analysis and validation

Use Cases:

Preparing and optimizing ICP canister Wasm modules for deployment
Analyzing and validating Wasm binaries for IC-specific requirements
Integrating Wasm processing into CI/CD pipelines for ICP development

Alternatives:

wasm-opt – General-purpose Wasm optimizer from Binaryen, not ICP-specific.
candid-extractor – Extracts Candid interfaces, but lacks broader Wasm transformations for ICP.
