OpenZeppelin is bringing its trusted smart contracts libraries and developer workflows to Stellar, a Rust-based blockchain. Developers can build payments, stablecoins, and DeFi apps on Stellar using familiar, audited building blocks. To see more, go to: https://www.openzeppelin.com/networks/stellar.For latest OpenZeppelin developer docs, please visit: https://docs.openzeppelin.com/stellar-contracts.

​
Getting started with Contract Wizard

OpenZeppelin’s Contract Wizard includes support for Stellar’s Rust-based smart contracts, making it easier for developers to generate and deploy secure, audited contracts. After you have selected your desired template and options you can download it as a single file, a Rust development package, or a Scaffold Stellar Package. Try it out below or visit the wizard here.
For a walkthrough on using these contracts check out the video linked below!

OpenZeppelin Stellar Contracts and Utilities

OpenZeppelin Stellar Contracts is a collection of audited contracts and utilities for Stellar. The contracts are developed by OpenZeppelin in collaboration with the Stellar community and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), in an effort to bring a library of high-quality and audited contracts that can be used to build applications on the Stellar network.

Audited Modules Available

Fungible Token
  • Extensions:
    • Burnable: Allow token holders to destroy their tokens
    • Capped: Set maximum supply limits
    • Allowlist: Restrict transfers to approved addresses
    • Blocklist: Prevent transfers from/to blocked addresses
Non-Fungible Token
  • Extensions:
    • Burnable: Allow token holders to destroy their NFTs
    • Enumerable: Enable iteration over all tokens and owner tokens
    • Consecutive: Efficiently mint multiple tokens in batches
    • Royalties: Support for creator royalties on secondary sales
Stablecoin Token
  • Extensions:
    • Burnable: Allow token holders to destroy their tokens
    • Capped: Set maximum supply limits
    • Allowlist: Restrict transfers to approved addresses
    • Blocklist: Prevent transfers from/to blocked addresses
RWA (ERC-3643) Token The RWA token extends the standard fungible token functionality with regulatory features required for security tokens, including:
  • Features:
    • Identity Management: Integration with identity registries for KYC/AML compliance
    • Compliance Framework: Modular compliance rules and validation for transfers and minting
    • Transfer Controls: Sophisticated transfer restrictions and validations
    • Freezing Mechanisms: Address-level and partial token freezing capabilities
    • Recovery System: Lost/old account recovery for verified investors
    • Pausable Operations: Emergency pause functionality for the entire token
    • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Flexible privilege management for administrative functions
Token Vault The Fungible Token Vault extends the Fungible Token and implements SEP-56 Tokenized Vault Standard, enabling fungible tokens to represent shares in an underlying asset pool. The tokenized vault standard is the formalized interface for yield-bearing vaults that hold underlying assets. Vault shares enable hyperfungible collaterals in DeFi and remain fully compatible with standard fungible token operations. Confidential Token The Confidential Token (stellar-confidential, released in v0.8.0) wraps an existing SEP-41 token and adds private balances and transfer amounts. Users deposit the underlying token, transfer it confidentially, and withdraw it. Standard SEP-41 clients cannot call the contract directly, because it exposes confidential_balance and confidential_transfer instead of balance and transfer. Balances are Pedersen commitments, and the contract verifies an UltraHonk proof onchain for every operation that spends private state. Sender and recipient addresses stay public. Auditors decrypt amounts with registered auditor keys, and an optional compliance extension adds freezing, an external authorization policy (such as an allowlist), and clawback. Proofs are not yet zero-knowledge. See Confidential Tokens for resources and current limitations. Smart Accounts Smart Accounts are contract based wallets made for flexible and programmable authorization. This framework takes a context-centric approach, separating three distinct concerns: who is allowed to sign (signers), what they are allowed to do (scope/context rules), and how those permissions are enforced (policies). The initial release includes policies for multisig and spending limits.
  • Components:
    • Context rules: Routing table for authorization
    • Signers: List of authorized signers (delegated address, or external signers)
    • Policies: Enforcement module attached to context rules
    • Verifiers: Trust contracts that validate signatures on behalf of smart accounts
Utilities
  • Pausable and Upgradeable Utilities
  • Role-based and Ownable Access Control
  • Merkle Distributor
  • Fixed point math (WAD)
  • Time lock
  • Governor
All contracts and extensions are audited by OpenZeppelin’s security team, enhancing security and reliability of the contracts and extensions. Additional formal verification is being completed by Certora. To use the library, please visit: https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/stellar-contracts.
