Chainlink announced via X on Thursday that Chainlink Labs has entered into a strategic partnership with OpenZeppelin, a platform that provides premium features that help decentralized applications build, audit, deploy, operate, and monitor their smart contracts.
The alliance will see OpenZeppelin support the Chainlink BUILD program, which fosters promising early-stage startups and accelerates the growth of established protocols building across the Web3 ecosystem. By providing preferential services to Chainlink BUILD members, these new projects in the Chainlink ecosystem can access OpenZeppelin’s security suite.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is up by 1% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $19.996 at press time.
