🌐 OpenZeppelin co-hosted an exclusive Digital Finance Breakfast with Moody's, the well-known global leader in credit ratings, research, and risk analysis. The event was held in Singapore during a key week for digital assets, featuring both Digital Assets Week and the Singapore FinTech Festival. Key discussions focused on DLT vulnerabilities—costs, talent retention, regulatory shifts, and cyber risks—as well as the benefits of tokenized assets, such as efficiency and market access. Singapore's Project Guardian was highlighted as a model for cross-border tokenized transactions, underscoring the need for strong collaborative frameworks in digital finance. Thank you, Moody's Ratings, for inviting us to contribute to this invaluable event, tailored for professionals eager to shape the future of digital assets.✨ Read more about this collaboration: https://lnkd.in/dy3HkYHn

This September, Arbitrum DAO will be launching a Subsidy Fund of up to $2.5 million aimed at subsidizing the cost of security services for projects within the Arbitrum ecosystem. OpenZeppelin is excited to be one of the whitelisted Security Auditors who will be providing security-oriented services under this initiative. This builds on our existing contributions within the Arbitrum ecosystem as a Security member of the ARDC, member of the Security Council, and builder of a new Stylus library. You can find more details about the launch of the Subsidy Fund in the post below. https://lnkd.in/dQErRj7B

Axelar network devs + OpenZeppelin are joining forces to solve liquidity fragmentation in the EVM ecosystem + unlock interoperability for Web3 builders with a single click. Ethereum is scaling horizontally, much like the internet itself. L2 blockchains are proliferating alongside modular + application-specific chains. These blockchains are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), but they are not natively interoperable with Ethereum. Most L2s establish a baseline cross-chain connection to Ethereum via a sequencer + bridge. The sequencer passes bundles of verified transactions to the Ethereum blockchain for final verification. The bridge allows users to move wrapped assets between Ethereum and the L2. This creates bad UX, falling short of the interoperability that is core to the Ethereum blockchain itself 🤦 ❌ Apps redirect users through "bridge" interfaces ❌ Users can't transact between L2s directly ❌ Apps can't integrate functions on other EVM chains These are the dimensions of Ethereum's interoperability problem. Efforts to find a solution are picking up momentum across the EVM community. Interop Labs + OpenZeppelin are joining these efforts, working in 2 stages to make interoperability a core part of EVM 👇 1️⃣ Axelar network will be integrated into @OpenZeppelin libraries + Contracts Wizard, enabling interop at ground level for EVM ecosystem devs: 🌐 Full EVM interoperability 🦾 Seamless + simple from Day 1 🧲 Eventually available to all Cairo + Solidity dApp builders 2️⃣ OpenZeppelin + Interop Labs will collaborate on Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) designed to improve interoperability at the protocol level + make it easier for applications built on EVM chains to connect seamlessly. Security is core, as always. The collaboration will include bug bounty + incident response programs. Open-source development is also a core commitment. Deliverables will be publicly available under open-source license, fostering transparency + encouraging open contributions.

Institutional adoption of blockchain technology hinges on the security and reliability of smart contracts. Moody’s Ratings interviewed OpenZeppelin to discuss the pivotal role of standardized security practices. Explore the insights and potential solutions to the industry's challenges, including the need for uniform auditing standards and the integration of emergency 'kill switch' mechanisms without compromising decentralization.

OpenZeppelin has onboarded tens of thousands of developers to Ethereum and secured over $5.48T USD in value transferred. Unfortunately, the onchain world is still riddled with security gaps, poor developer experiences, and insufficient tooling. This is why, for the last few years at OpenZeppelin, we’ve been hard at work integrating our stack beyond the EVM, bringing our stack of products and services to Starknet, Arbitrum Stylus, and Polkadot. We believe that for onchain ecosystems to be successful, builders need a secure environment that works for everyone, from hackathon teams to large enterprises. I’ve had a blast this last year expanding our footprint across ecosystems and supporting our mission to protect the open economy, regardless of which execution environment it runs on.
