OpenZeppelin Contracts API Reference

The OpenZeppelin Contracts library provides a comprehensive collection of modular, reusable, and secure Solidity smart contracts for building decentralized applications. The API reference covers ERC token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), access control, governance, security utilities (reentrancy guards, pausable), upgradeable proxy patterns, and cryptographic primitives. Used by thousands of blockchain projects as the industry standard for secure smart contract development.
