Getting to know the popular smart contract libraries
Developing a secure, reusable, and efficient smart contract is a challenging endeavor, as we have seen. It requires significant effort, experience, and thorough testing. Once a smart contract is deployed on a blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone within the network. Therefore, ensuring the development of a high-quality, secure smart contract becomes imperative for developers. To accomplish this, the utilization of well-tested, reusable, and secure libraries is of utmost importance. Fortunately, there are numerous popular open source Ethereum libraries available, including the following:
Modular Libraries
: A library that’s used for utilizing EVMs- Aragon: A DAO protocol, including the aragonOS smart contract framework for upgradeability and governance
- DateTime Library: A Solidity date and time library
OpenZeppelin is one of the most popular libraries, and we’ll discuss it in the next section...
