= Contracts
|
|
|
|
|
|
*A library for secure smart contract development.* Build on a solid foundation of community-vetted code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementations of standards like xref:erc20.adoc[ERC20] and xref:erc721.adoc[ERC721].
|
|
|
* Flexible xref:access-control.adoc[role-based permissioning] scheme.
|
|
|
* Reusable xref:utilities.adoc[Solidity components] to build custom contracts and complex decentralized systems.

== Overview

|
|
|
|
[[install]]
|
|
|
=== Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
$ npm install @openzeppelin/contracts
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenZeppelin Contracts features a xref:releases-stability.adoc#api-stability[stable API], which means your contracts won't break unexpectedly when upgrading to a newer minor version.

[[usage]]
|
|
|
=== Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can use the contracts in the library by importing them:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,solidity]
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
// contracts/MyNFT.sol
|
|
|
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
|
|
|
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
|
|
|
|
|
|
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";
|
|
|
|
|
|
contract MyNFT is ERC721 {
|
|
|
constructor() ERC721("MyNFT", "MNFT") {
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
}
|
|
|

TIP: If you're new to smart contract development, head to xref:learn::developing-smart-contracts.adoc[Developing Smart Contracts] to learn about creating a new project and compiling your contracts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To keep your system secure, you should **always** use the installed code as-is, and neither copy-paste it from online sources, nor modify it yourself. The library is designed so that only the contracts and functions you use are deployed, so you don't need to worry about it needlessly increasing gas costs.

The guides in the sidebar will teach about different concepts, and how to use the related contracts that OpenZeppelin Contracts provides:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* xref:access-control.adoc[Access Control]: decide who can perform each of the actions on your system.
|
|
|
* xref:tokens.adoc[Tokens]: create tradable assets or collectibles, like the well known xref:erc20.adoc[ERC20] and xref:erc721.adoc[ERC721] standards.
|
|
|
* xref:utilities.adoc[Utilities]: generic useful tools, including non-overflowing math, signature verification, and trustless paying systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The xref:api:token/ERC20.adoc[full API] is also thoroughly documented, and serves as a great reference when developing your smart contract application. You can also ask for help or follow Contracts' development in the https://forum.openzeppelin.com[community forum].

Finally, you may want to take a look at the https://blog.openzeppelin.com/guides/[guides on our blog], which cover several common use cases and good practices. The following articles provide great background reading, though please note, some of the referenced tools have changed as the tooling in the ecosystem continues to rapidly evolve.
