same team, same standards, same open source commitment, now with S&P Global's institutional reach behind us 🫡
Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin.
Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them.
With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks.
To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools:
• OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority.
• Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach.
For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

funny (not so) times ahead
The single biggest productivity improvement I've made this year as an engineer is talking to agents instead of typing.
I don't really want to change jobs, but man I really want to see how technical interviewers are checking AI skills. I might apply to some positions just because.
Has anyone else tired of GitHub going down tried this origin beta alternative by @cursor_ai ? Is worth trying already?
Read this if you still don't understand why stablecoins are so great for financial institutions, and ultimately, for you.
We're working more, not less, now that we have agents, because we can focus on the fun parts, and that replaced a lot of the time we used to spend on pure entertainment.

AI should let you take a 90% solution that once took a week and push it to 99% in two days. Instead, I see a lot of people work five things and ship each at 70%.
Please use AI to raise the bar, not lower it faster.
Lately, many friends from my CS major days, now around 30, tell me they're bored with coding.
Most of them are excited that AI enables solving problems at a higher level, beyond software. Others are just focusing on hobbies and keep coding because it pays.
What a ride this World Cup was. Happy that Spain won at the end. Well deserved. We will miss you Lionel.
If you think you don’t need to go the extra mile to optimize how you use AI as an engineer, remember this: even when the ball is perfect, Messi still gets paid to kick it, and you don’t. AI will be no different. The people who learn to use it better will get paid, and you won’t.
