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.

Onboarding trillions of assets onchain is a shared effort across standards, infrastructure, and security.
OpenZeppelin is proud to be part of the Tokenized Asset Coalition, contributing the foundations institutions need to bring finance onchain with confidence 🔒
Very excited to announce we're welcoming 12 new members.
Another step toward our mission of onboarding the next TRILLION of assets onchain.
With the SEC opening the door to tokenized stock trading onchain:
- We've added a regulated broker-dealer building lending against tokenized NMS stock
- We're deepening our DeFi bench with leading lending protocols and onchain asset managers
- We've brought on the infrastructure tokenization runs on: smart contract security, onchain accounting, blockchain data and self-custody
- We've expanded into Canton, an ecosystem institutions are adopting quickly
- We're strengthening our research and policy work with two of the most respected standards and policy groups in the space
Meet the new TAC members:

We also unveiled the Global Access Protocol (GAP) today, a framework for making tokenized securities composable in DeFi. More on this next week.
Thank you to our returning members, alums and partners for continuing to build this with us!

Exploits rarely start and end in the code. Technical flaws, operational gaps, and human behavior compound each other.
Our Security Research Manager Steven Thornton unpacks how they interact, and how to design for it, at @1inch Groundwork in Washington, DC tomorrow at 3:35 PM ET.

@OpenZeppelin provides architecture, build, and continuous security coverage for financial institutions, networks, and protocols.
They joined us in the Cosmos Partner Network to help global financial players accelerate digital asset initiatives.
OpenZeppelin engineer @boyanxyz looks at what it takes for an issuer to launch a confidential stablecoin on @StellarOrg.
It starts with the open-source confidential token implementation in our Stellar library, currently on testnet.
OpenZeppelin Contracts have now powered over $38 trillion in value transferred.
Nearly half of that value moved in the last two years.

Groundwork is in Washington DC on purpose.
The rules for this industry are being written here. The students who will spend their careers working under those rules are at universities across the city. Groundwork puts both in one room for an afternoon.
Co-hosted by 1inch Forward and the @BlockchainAssn, during @dcfintechweek.
Seven panels and six roundtables. Speakers from @RobinhoodCrypto, @Uniswap, @circle, @digitalasset, @FireblocksHQ, @OpenZeppelin, @trmlabs, @Dune, @Alchemy and @CertiK. Faculty from Columbia, NYU, Rutgers and George Mason. Students moderate two of the main stage panels.

Thanks to support from @DCDAOxyz, @YAPGlobalTeam and @INPUT_global.
Last week during @Sibos, Convergence brought together the people moving finance onchain.
Leaders across banking and capital markets, discussing where tokenization, stablecoins, and settlement go next, with our co-hosts @WisdomTreeOnchn and @dfnsHQ
See you at the next one 🥂

Day 2, Digital Assets Week.
11:20 - What does it take to build the institutional stack for onchain finance.
Daniel Coheur joined by Thodoris Karakostas (@chainlink), Ghazi Ben Amor (@zama) and Jonathan Alexander (@OpenZeppelin).
Most tokenized assets can't move beyond where they're issued, because no other environment recognizes the holder.
ONCHAINID v3 makes identity a smart account the holder carries, recognized wherever the asset goes.
Co-developed with @TREX_network and audited by OpenZeppelin.
Payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets: @StellarOrg keeps expanding what real-world finance looks like onchain.
OpenZeppelin is proud to help set the security standards that let it scale.
Our CTO @jalex206 will join the Meridian stage in Lisbon to share what's next.
The @StellarOrg ecosystem meets in Lisbon October 28-29 🇵🇹
Discounted ticket are available through OpenZeppelin.

For regulated institutions, going onchain can't mean putting positions and strategies on display. Confidentiality is the precondition to tokenize at scale.
Great to co-host this in Zurich with @cmta_ch, with our own Smriti Verma setting out the institutional exposure problem.
How can regulated institutions tokenize securities without putting their positions, clients and strategies on display?
We explored this topic in Zurich on Monday with @OpenZeppelin at "Confidentiality in Regulated Onchain Markets".
Highlights👇
For a regulated euro stablecoin, compliance has to be enforced in the smart contract itself.
OpenZeppelin secured EURXT code together with the off-chain procedures governing it for Crédit Agricole CACEIS, ahead of issuance under MiCA.

patterns here are important for many things we are working on and extendable with other elements for many institutional concerns including account privacy
An onchain identity used to prove eligibility for a regulated asset.
In ONCHAINID v3, it can also hold assets, sign transactions, and manage recovery in one compliant flow.
It's now a modular smart account, upgraded together with @TREX_network.

ONCHAINID v3 has been audited by @OpenZeppelin.
An onchain identity used to prove that a holder was eligible for a regulated asset, and stop there.
In v3 it holds the asset, signs for it and manages its own recovery.

ONCHAINID v3 rebuilds the core identity standards on a modular ERC-7579 account with ERC-4337 abstraction.
Signers, social recovery, and crosschain identity now install as independent modules, each upgradable on its own.
