A library for secure smart contract development. Build on a solid foundation of community-vetted code.

• Implementations of standards like ERC20 and ERC721.
• Flexible role-based permissioning scheme.
• Reusable Solidity components to build custom contracts and complex decentralized systems.

Note You are looking at the EIP-2535 Diamond upgradeable variant of OpenZeppelin Contracts. Be sure to review the documentation on Using OpenZeppelin Contracts with Upgrades.

Also, if you are upgrading existing contracts from v4.5 of these EIP-2535 contracts, you will have to edit the contracts to revert to the misspelled 'openzepplin' for the storage slots.

Overview

Installation

$ npm install @gnus-ai/openzeppelin-contracts-diamond

OpenZeppelin Contracts features a stable API, which means that your contracts won't break unexpectedly when upgrading to a newer minor version.

An alternative to npm is to use the GitHub repository (geniusventures/openzeppelin-contracts-diamond) to retrieve the contracts. When doing this, make sure to specify the tag for a release such as v4.5.0, instead of using the master branch.

Usage

Once installed, you can use the contracts in the library by importing them:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@gnus-ai/openzeppelin-contracts-diamond/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721Upgradeable.sol";

contract MyCollectible is ERC721Upgradeable {
    function initialize() initializer public {
        __ERC721_init("MyCollectible", "MCO");
    }
}

If you're new to smart contract development, head to Developing Smart Contracts to learn about creating a new project and compiling your contracts.

To keep your system secure, you should always use the installed code as-is, and neither copy-paste it from online sources nor modify it yourself. The library is designed so that only the contracts and functions you use are deployed, so you don't need to worry about it needlessly increasing gas costs.

Learn More

The guides in the documentation site will teach about different concepts, and how to use the related contracts that OpenZeppelin Contracts provides:

• Access Control: decide who can perform each of the actions on your system.
• Tokens: create tradeable assets or collectives, and distribute them via Crowdsales.
• Utilities: generic useful tools including non-overflowing math, signature verification, and trustless paying systems.

The full API is also thoroughly documented, and serves as a great reference when developing your smart contract application. You can also ask for help or follow Contracts's development in the community forum.

Finally, you may want to take a look at the guides on our blog, which cover several common use cases and good practices. The following articles provide great background reading, though please note that some of the referenced tools have changed, as the tooling in the ecosystem continues to rapidly evolve.

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Smart Contracts in Ethereum will help you get an overview of the various tools available for smart contract development, and help you set up your environment.
• A Gentle Introduction to Ethereum Programming, Part 1 provides very useful information on an introductory level, including many basic concepts from the Ethereum platform.
• For a more in-depth dive, you may read the guide Designing the Architecture for Your Ethereum Application, which discusses how to better structure your application and its relationship to the real world.

Security

This project is maintained by OpenZeppelin with the goal of providing a secure and reliable library of smart contract components for the ecosystem. We address security through risk management in various areas such as engineering and open source best practices, scoping and API design, multi-layered review processes, and incident response preparedness.

The security policy is detailed in SECURITY.md, and specifies how you can report security vulnerabilities, which versions will receive security patches, and how to stay informed about them. We run a bug bounty program on Immunefi to reward the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.

The engineering guidelines we follow to promote project quality can be found in GUIDELINES.md.

Past audits can be found in audits/.

Smart contracts are a nascent technology and carry a high level of technical risk and uncertainty. Although OpenZeppelin is well known for its security audits, using OpenZeppelin Contracts is not a substitute for a security audit.
