Develop secure smart contracts using OpenZeppelin Contracts libraries. Use when users need to integrate OpenZeppelin library components — including token standards (ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155), access control (Ownable, AccessControl, AccessManager), security primitives (Pausable, ReentrancyGuard), governance (Governor, timelocks), or accounts (multisig, account abstraction) — into existing or new contracts. Covers pattern discovery from library source, CLI contract generators, and library-first integration. Supports Solidity, Cairo, Stylus, and Stellar.

Set up a Cairo smart contract project with OpenZeppelin Contracts for Cairo on Starknet. Use when users need to: (1) create a new Scarb/Starknet project, (2) add OpenZeppelin Contracts for Cairo dependencies to Scarb.toml, (3) configure individual or umbrella OpenZeppelin packages, or (4) understand Cairo import conventions and component patterns for OpenZeppelin.

Set up a Solidity smart contract project with OpenZeppelin Contracts. Use when users need to: (1) create a new Hardhat or Foundry project, (2) install OpenZeppelin Contracts dependencies for Solidity, (3) configure remappings for Foundry, or (4) understand Solidity import conventions for OpenZeppelin.

Set up a Stellar/Soroban smart contract project with OpenZeppelin Contracts for Stellar. Use when users need to: (1) install Stellar CLI and Rust toolchain for Soroban, (2) create a new Soroban project, (3) add OpenZeppelin Stellar dependencies to Cargo.toml, or (4) understand Soroban import conventions and contract patterns for OpenZeppelin.

Set up a Stylus smart contract project with OpenZeppelin Contracts for Stylus on Arbitrum. Use when users need to: (1) install Rust toolchain and WASM target for Stylus, (2) create a new Cargo Stylus project, (3) add OpenZeppelin Stylus dependencies to Cargo.toml, or (4) understand Stylus import conventions and storage patterns for OpenZeppelin.

Upgrade Cairo smart contracts using OpenZeppelin's UpgradeableComponent on Starknet. Use when users need to: (1) make Cairo contracts upgradeable via replace_class_syscall, (2) integrate the OpenZeppelin UpgradeableComponent, (3) understand Starknet's class-based upgrade model vs EVM proxy patterns, (4) ensure storage compatibility across upgrades, (5) guard upgrade functions with access control, or (6) test upgrade paths for Cairo contracts.

Upgrade Solidity smart contracts using OpenZeppelin proxy patterns. Use when users need to: (1) make contracts upgradeable with UUPS, Transparent, or Beacon proxies, (2) write initializers instead of constructors, (3) use the Hardhat or Foundry upgrades plugins, (4) understand storage layout rules and ERC-7201 namespaced storage, (5) validate upgrade safety, (6) manage proxy deployments and upgrades, or (7) understand upgrade restrictions between OpenZeppelin Contracts major versions.

Upgrade Stellar/Soroban smart contracts using OpenZeppelin's upgradeable module. Use when users need to: (1) make Soroban contracts upgradeable via native WASM replacement, (2) use Upgradeable or UpgradeableMigratable derive macros, (3) implement atomic upgrade-and-migrate patterns with an Upgrader contract, (4) ensure storage key compatibility across upgrades, or (5) test upgrade paths for Soroban contracts.

Upgrade Stylus smart contracts using OpenZeppelin proxy patterns on Arbitrum. Use when users need to: (1) make Stylus Rust contracts upgradeable with UUPS or Beacon proxies, (2) understand Stylus-specific proxy mechanics (logic_flag, WASM reactivation), (3) integrate UUPSUpgradeable with access control, (4) ensure storage compatibility across upgrades, or (5) test upgrade paths for Stylus contracts.
