The security standard for onchain finance. $35 trillion+ in value transferred secured since 2015 for the institutions and innovators shaping global finance.

Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them. With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks. To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools: • OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority. • Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach. For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

For regulated institutions, going onchain can't mean putting positions and strategies on display. Confidentiality is the precondition to tokenize at scale. Great to co-host this in Zurich with @cmta_ch, with our own Smriti Verma setting out the institutional exposure problem.
How can regulated institutions tokenize securities without putting their positions, clients and strategies on display? We explored this topic in Zurich on Monday with @OpenZeppelin at "Confidentiality in Regulated Onchain Markets". Highlights👇

For a regulated euro stablecoin, compliance has to be enforced in the smart contract itself. OpenZeppelin secured EURXT code together with the off-chain procedures governing it for Crédit Agricole CACEIS, ahead of issuance under MiCA. Read the story ↓ openzeppelin.com/customer-st…

patterns here are important for many things we are working on and extendable with other elements for many institutional concerns including account privacy
An onchain identity used to prove eligibility for a regulated asset. In ONCHAINID v3, it can also hold assets, sign transactions, and manage recovery in one compliant flow. It's now a modular smart account, upgraded together with @TREX_network.

ONCHAINID v3 has been audited by @OpenZeppelin. An onchain identity used to prove that a holder was eligible for a regulated asset, and stop there. In v3 it holds the asset, signs for it and manages its own recovery. Full report below ↓

Great to support @1inch on the security of the Aqua router, the SwapVM engine, and the pegged-swap and concentrated-liquidity instructions now live. Check out the audit report ↓
Aqua prices a fill onchain. The provider signs the instructions. SwapVM runs them at execution. @OpenZeppelin audited that engine, the Aqua router, and the pegged-swap and concentrated-liquidity instructions that are live.

Confidential Tokens on Stellar hide balances and amounts while leaving addresses out in the open. So what can an issuer still do when it can't see what's in an account? @boyanxyz of @OpenZeppelin walks through it 👇

What does onchain privacy look like? One approach: confidentiality. Amounts and balances stay hidden, while addresses stay visible. The privacy banks and users expect, with the efficiency and security of blockchain. @boyanxyz from @OpenZeppelin explains. stellar.org/blog/developers/…
