Stellar SDF Partners with OpenZeppelin to Enhance Stellar Smart Contract Development

The Stellar Development Foundation announces a partnership with OpenZeppelin from January 2025 to December 2026 to enhance the Stellar network’s smart contract capabilities. This collaboration introduces OpenZeppelin’s security expertise to Stellar’s Soroban platform, creating the Stellar Library. The library will offer foundational smart contracts, advanced token standards, and cryptographic utilities, crucial for secure application development. Security remains a priority with 40 Auditor Weeks and a bug bounty program dedicated to maintaining security standards. OpenZeppelin will also introduce open-source tools to streamline development and deployment. Stellar developers will gain quick access to smart contract templates, reducing time-to-market and enhancing reliability.
