OpenZeppelin

OpenZeppelin is a Web3 security platform providing tools for secure smart contract development, deployment, monitoring, and automation. The platform includes OpenZeppelin Contracts (battle-tested Solidity libraries), Defender (a developer security platform for auditing, deploying, and operating blockchain applications), the open-source OpenZeppelin Relayer for transaction relay infrastructure across EVM, Solana, and Stellar networks, and OpenZeppelin Monitor for real-time on-chain activity detection and alerting. Defender is sunsetting on July 1, 2026, with users migrating to the open-source Relayer and Monitor projects.

  description: 'The OpenZeppelin Relayer is an open-source transaction relay infrastructure service that enables decentralized
    applications to submit and manage blockchain transactions across EVM-compatible networks (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum,
    Optimism), Solana, and Stellar. The self-hosted REST API provides endpoints for relayer management, transaction submission
    and signing, nonce management, gas estimation, and RPC calls. It supports gasless transactions, sponsored transactions,
    and configurable policies with rate limiting at 100 requests/second (burst 300).

- name: OpenZeppelin Contracts API Reference
  description: '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.
