 WASM version of `{{NAME_DASHED}}` Rust crate:

+# Getting Started
+
+Be sure to `await` the WASM async initialization:
+
+```ts
+import * as {{NAME_UNDERSCORED}} from '@fuels/vm-{{PKG_NAME}}'
+
+(async function() {
+  await {{NAME_UNDERSCORED}}.initWasm();
+
+  // {{NAME_UNDERSCORED}}.<?>();

+# Usage
+
+The external usage of WASM packages requires them to be async.
+
+Don't forget to await for the WASM initialization:
+
+```ts
+import * as asm from '@fuels/vm-asm'
+
+// alternative 1
+(async function() {
+  await asm.initWasm();
+
+  asm.movi(0x10, 0);
+
+})();
+
+// alternative 2
+import * as asm from '@fuels/vm-asm'
+
+asm.initWasm().then(() => {
+    asm.movi(0x10, 0);
+})
+
+```
