OpenZeppelin releases preliminary Soroban smart contract libraries for Stellar, enabling developers to build token contracts in under 100 lines of code using audited, production-ready templates.
OpenZeppelin has released its first preliminary libraries for Stellar's Soroban smart contract platform, including fungible token contracts and utilities. The tutorial demonstrates building a SEP-41 compliant token contract with minting, burning, and transfer functionality using OpenZeppelin's libraries. The speaker walks through deployment on Stellar testnet, showing how to mint tokens, check balances, and enforce supply caps. OpenZeppelin has a two-year partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation to create token contracts, utilities, and cryptographic functions. While the current release is preliminary and not yet security-audited, it represents a major milestone for Stellar developers who can now leverage the most widely-used blockchain libraries in the world.
