Grow your network on the standards that developers and institutions already trust
OpenZeppelin develops the native libraries, developer tools, and ecosystem projects that bring developers and institutions to your network, and secures it from protocol infrastructure to every application deployed on it.

Every network competes for the same two resources. Developers choose ecosystems where libraries, tooling, and documentation let them ship quickly and safely, and users and liquidity follow the applications they ship. Institutions run a formal assessment before committing capital to any chain: the protocol's security record, the maturity of its standards, the quality of the applications already live, and how the network responds when something breaks. Both decisions favor networks with mature standards, strong developer tooling, and a security record institutions can verify.
Get the foundations right, and every new developer makes your network more attractive to the next.
Developers choose the ecosystems where they can ship fastest and most safely: security-audited libraries in the network's language, generators and AI tooling that know its standards, and education that teaches its security model. Networks that offer this from day one give developers one less reason to look elsewhere.
Banks and asset managers approve networks where permissioned tokens, compliance controls, and confidentiality already run on recognized standards. Without those components, every institution starts from scratch, and most choose a network where the path has already been proven.
Users and liquidity arrive with the applications developers ship, and each successful application makes the next one easier to attract. Reference implementations of core primitives and active developer programs help start that cycle on a new network, or accelerate it on an established one.
Every new application, bridge, and upgrade widens the surface your network's reputation depends on, and an exploit in a major application on your chain is reported as your network's incident. The assurance you had at launch says little about the network running today.
Where OpenZeppelin helps your network grow
From the libraries and tools developers start with to the projects that grow your ecosystem and the security beneath it, here is what OpenZeppelin develops with you and how we secure it.
- Native Contracts Libraries
Give developers security-audited standards in your network's language
- OpenZeppelin Contracts is the industry-standard library behind $38 trillion+ in value transferred. We develop and maintain native libraries for your stack, across EVM and non-EVM languages, covering tokens, access control, governance, accounts, and asset tokenization, so every developer on your network starts from security-audited components.
- Developer Tooling & AI-Native Development
Put your network in front of every developer who uses OpenZeppelin
- We extend Contracts Wizard, Contracts MCP, Contracts Skills, Upgrades Plugins, Relayer, Monitor, and UI Builder to your network, so developers generate, deploy, operate, and monitor applications with secure defaults, including through the AI coding agents a growing share of them now work with.
- Ecosystem Growth Projects
Give developers and users reasons to choose your network
- We work with your foundation to design and deliver the projects that grow an ecosystem: reference implementations of core primitives such as tokens, stablecoins, vaults, and governance, developer programs and hackathons, Ethernaut challenges and workshops, and joint content that reaches the developers who already follow OpenZeppelin.
- Institutional Readiness
Become a network institutions can approve
- Institutions evaluating your network look for proven standards for permissioned tokens, compliance controls, and confidentiality. We develop the standards and reference implementations for institutional use cases on your network, including confidential tokens based on ERC-7984, so the first bank or asset manager to arrive finds the core components in place.
- Protocol & Infrastructure Security
Harden the core your ecosystem stands on
- We secure node clients, consensus and execution logic, sequencers, precompiles, zero-knowledge circuits and provers, and the cryptography beneath them through Blockchain Infrastructure Audits and Zero-Knowledge Proof Audits, so the foundation every application inherits holds under adversarial conditions.
Across all of the above
Security at Every Layer- Every layer of your network, from the protocol core to the libraries, tools, and applications developers ship on it, can be secured by OpenZeppelin's security team. The team operates independently from our development team, so even the components we develop for you receive an independent review, from the researchers behind 900+ security engagements and 10,000+ vulnerabilities surfaced before production.
See what developers on your network would get
Networks we work with get a native OpenZeppelin stack: contracts libraries in their language, Contracts Wizard, Contracts MCP, Contracts Skills, and more based on their needs. Explore the networks already supported to see what that looks like for an ecosystem like yours.

“With OpenZeppelin’s open source tools, Stellar developers can build faster while hardening security for their onchain apps.”
“Having OpenZeppelin's battle-tested contracts available from day one was crucial for Starknet's ecosystem growth. Developers could build with the same security confidence they had on Ethereum, which accelerated our entire DeFi landscape”
One team from protocol design to ecosystem scale
Growing a network spans protocol design, developer onboarding, ecosystem growth, and live operations, and each stage expands with every application and upgrade. OpenZeppelin researchers and engineers work across all four, scaled by OpenZeppelin AI and calibrated to your network's architecture, ecosystem size, and growth plans.

An ecosystem package shaped around your network's stage
A pre-mainnet network, a fast-growing ecosystem, and an established chain courting institutions need different things. We combine libraries, tooling, growth projects, and security into the package your network needs, and adjust it as the ecosystem grows. Engage on a defined-scope project, or through the Continuous Security Program for ongoing coverage.
The standards behind the assets every network wants to attract
Stablecoins and tokenized funds are the assets every network competes for, and most of them already run on OpenZeppelin. The libraries behind 9 of the top 10 stablecoins and 10 of the top 10 tokenized money market funds by market cap are OpenZeppelin Contracts, so native OpenZeppelin standards on your network give those issuers a foundation they already use.
Every engagement pairs OpenZeppelin researchers and engineers with OpenZeppelin AI, with risk assessment and monitoring running throughout, so issues surface early, while they are still cheap to fix.
