Mission
OpenZeppelin’s mission is to protect the open economy.
We care deeply about economic liberty, equality of opportunities, and freedom to innovate.
We believe the best way to achieve this is through the mainstream adoption of an open economy — a global, internet-based economic and financial system enabling every human to work, produce, consume, and invest however desired.
We believe that blockchains and smart contracts are the best technologies to enable such open economy.
Through our work, we aim to secure the open economy’s underlying technology, making it easy and safe for developers and organizations to build and connect to it.
By protecting the open economy, we contribute to accelerating its mainstream adoption, and thus foster economic freedom in the world.
What we do
We believe in the power of technology to change the world by enabling new ways for individuals and businesses to communicate, create, and transact value. However, we recognize that some old traditions, institutions, and ideas are being carried over from the days before the Internet.
We empower creative people all over the world to build new software-based global systems and communities, no matter where they live. We do this by driving technological innovation, open-source collaboration, and great user experience design.
How we work
We’re focused on creating a collaborative work environment where people are happy and productive. We don’t let geography or borders define us: we are a distributed team with members all over the world.
