  One potential security risk of implementing WebAssembly in cryptocurrency wallets is the possibility of malicious code being injected into the wallet. Since WebAssembly allows for the execution of code from untrusted sources, attackers could exploit vulnerabilities in the code to gain unauthorized access to the wallet and steal funds. It is important for wallet developers to thoroughly vet and validate any WebAssembly code used in their wallets to mitigate this risk.

  Another security risk is the potential for WebAssembly code to bypass the security measures implemented in the wallet. If the code is not properly sandboxed or if there are vulnerabilities in the WebAssembly runtime, attackers could exploit these weaknesses to bypass authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to the wallet. Wallet developers should ensure that proper security measures are in place to prevent such attacks.
