OpenZeppelin is building an audited, open-source development stack for the Canton Network, supported by a grant from the Canton Foundation. Canton is a shared blockchain network for regulated finance, used by institutions like DTCC, Broadridge, and Goldman Sachs, processing over $330 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasuries daily and $9 trillion monthly. Over the next two years, OpenZeppelin will develop a contracts library covering token standards, vaults, access control, credentials, and cross-chain messaging, along with reference implementations for privacy-preserving exchange, compliance lending, stablecoin payments, and auctions. All components undergo rigorous security testing. The initial tooling includes a Daml linter, verifier, property-based testing library, and token/stablecoin templates. This aims to provide a trusted foundation for institutional decentralized finance.
