OpenZeppelin strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Its contract library is the reference implementation many teams already build on
  • Security work is the core business rather than an add-on

Limitations

  • Focus is on contracts and security; full front-end and product builds are not its main line
  • Audit demand can mean long lead times; pricing is not published
