A big milestone for OpenZeppelin and the future of blockchain security
OpenZeppelin is now officially a part of S&P Global.
The acquisition we announced in September is finalized. OpenZeppelin’s decade of securing and building the infrastructure onchain finance runs on now meets @SPGlobal's more than a century of helping markets understand risk. Together, we can help institutions and builders move onchain with greater confidence.
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.
• Security audits, secure development work and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality and customer experience, now backed by S&P Global’s research capacity, market data and institutional reach.
For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Now we take it to the scale of global finance.

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.

Last week we announced the OpenZeppelin Continuous Security Program.
Proud to have these teams already running on the most comprehensive security model, treating security as continuous operations, not just point-in-time audits.
@Uniswap @AcrossProtocol @zksync
Like many others, @code4rena was my first job in web3 security. I remember the days where we had to explain what a competitive audit even was, a completely new model with no reference point and no playbook.
A lot has changed since then. But I genuinely loved working on something that felt new and meaningful, alongside great people like @sockdrawermoney who had real vision and actually put the work in.
Sad to see this chapter close.
Excited about this one. From point-in-time audits to ongoing coverage that moves with your codebase.
Every commit analyzed. AI + senior researcher triage. Signal only, no noise.
If you're building and want to know what this looks like for your stack, feel free to reach out.

New tech is only half the job – rewriting risk, legal and cloud playbooks is the other half. That was the headline message from Marianne Webber (@StanChart ), Sandip Wadje (@BNPParibas ) and Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao vas (@chainlink ) at Crypto Finance Forum London.
From the “most expensive transaction ever” to surprise multi‑cloud risk, the panel showed how crypto pushes banks into uncharted control territory:
-$ Millions for one trade: @SBI_DAH & @jpmorgan spent eye‑watering amounts to build a one‑off risk framework – because no standards existed.
-Even a gas fee can trigger export‑control checks: BNP Paribas’s Sandip was asked to prove no nation-state actor could touch the ETH his team used to pay for it.
-90/10 new vs old: Standard Chartered re‑uses ~90 % of its TradFi controls; the last 10 % is crypto‑specific uplift (but this last mile can be immensely challenging).
-Compliance‑as‑code: Chainlink is building a runtime environment that simplifies regulatory complexity – enabling compliant issuance, settlement, and reporting of on-chain assets across borders, programmatically.
-Multi‑cloud overnight: tokenization pilots on AWS, GCP & Azure means banks have rapidly become multi‑cloud – now their resilience playbooks need a rewrite.
As Fernando put it:
“I’m super excited about the non‑sexy, boring stuff – risk frameworks and audit requirements. It's not cool, but I think it’s what’s really going to move the needle.”
