Zeppelin Solidity

OpenZeppelin is a library for writing secure Smart Contracts on Ethereum.

With OpenZeppelin, you can build distributed applications, protocols and organizations:

• using common contract security patterns (See Onward with Ethereum Smart Contract Security)
• in the Solidity language.

NOTE: New to smart contract development? Check our introductory guide.

Getting Started

OpenZeppelin integrates with Truffle, an Ethereum development environment. Please install Truffle and initialize your project with truffle init.

npm install -g truffle
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
truffle init

To install the OpenZeppelin library, run:

npm init
npm install zeppelin-solidity

# If you are using yarn, add dependency like this -
yarn add zeppelin-solidity

After that, you'll get all the library's contracts in the node_modules/zeppelin-solidity/contracts folder. You can use the contracts in the library like so:

import 'zeppelin-solidity/contracts/ownership/Ownable.sol';

contract MyContract is Ownable {
  ...
}

Security

OpenZeppelin is meant to provide secure, tested and community-audited code, but please use common sense when doing anything that deals with real money! We take no responsibility for your implementation decisions and any security problem you might experience.

If you find a security issue, please email security@openzeppelin.org.
