As described here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/JS.md#structured-clone-of-a-webassemblymodule

> Structured Clone of a WebAssembly.Module
>
> A WebAssembly.Module is a cloneable object† which means it can be cloned between windows/workers and also stored/retrieved into/from an IDBObjectStore‡. The semantics of a structured clone is as-if the binary source, from which the WebAssembly.Module was compiled, were cloned and recompiled into the target realm. Engines should attempt to share/reuse internal compiled code when performing a structured clone although, in corner cases like CPU upgrade or browser update, this may not be possible and full recompilation may be necessary.
>
> Given the above engine optimizations, structured cloning provides developers explicit control over both compiled-code caching and cross-window/worker code sharing.
