Fuse is Integrated on OpenZeppelin to Supercharge Smart Contracts on the Platform
Fuse and OpenZeppelin are thrilled to announce the addition of native Fuse blockchain support to OpenZeppelin’s flagship product Defender. The integration will help raise awareness of Fuse among OpenZeppelin-using developers and Solidity programmers, more generally.
Fuse Network has seen a lot of exciting developments recently, from the successful launch of the FuseSwap DEX to the integration with Dapp.com, to name just a few. Transaction activity on Fuse has also been growing rapidly, having recently surpassed 5 million transactions on the network. Nevertheless, we are always on the lookout for new opportunities for Fuse ecosystem’s projects and users.
While Fuse is laser-focused on token payment use cases enabled by Fuse Studio, the team would like to allow users to take full advantage of the EVM-compatible blockchain and boost smart contract development on the platform. With this objective in mind, we are thrilled to announce the integration with the smart contract security pioneer OpenZeppelin.
Integrating Fuse with OpenZeppelin Defender
OpenZeppelin is one of the pioneers in the domain of smart contract developer tools and security. Its standard smart contract libraries are used by projects and Solidity developers all over the blockchain space. OpenZeppelin’s security researchers have also performed smart contract audits for some of the most prominent DApps, including MakerDAO and Brave. This important integration will enable Fuse to boost its profile among Solidity developers looking for a scalable Ethereum-compatible platform to build their DApps on.
One of OpenZeppelin’s main products is Defender gives developers the ability to automate important smart contract operations. Fuse will now become the third blockchain platform (besides Ethereum and xDAI) to be supported by Defender.
Automated Management of Fuse Smart Contracts
With this integration, every OpenZeppelin Defender user will be able to see Fuse Network as one of the mainnet platforms for smart contracts with which they can interact.
The first key functionality Defender brings is the possibility to seamlessly manage all smart contract administration. The streamlined task examples include upgrading contracts to new implementations, tweaking numerical parameters in contracts, managing access control for restricted operations, and pausing contracts in the event of an emergency.
Defender’s Autotasks further allows developers to automate the running of recurrent actions involving their smart contracts, including those involving external APIs. An example of this is an on-chain oracle regularly accessing an external data source. Finally, Defender’s Relay functionality makes it easier to maintain private key security while relaying transactions. Instead of relying on risky hot wallets, developers can rely on the relayers that have accounts in protected vaults.
Bringing Smart Contracts Best Practices
In addition to smart contract management and regular task automation, using Defender will make it easier for Fuse smart contract developers to implement smart contract best practices through the use of Defender Advisor which gives developers access to a repository of articles on smart contract security with implementation examples. An upcoming update will also introduce the possibility for developers to track the conformity of their code with Solidity best practices and compare their work with other Defender-using projects.
We are thrilled to announce this key integration partnership with a leading smart contract developer tool provider and we are confident that it will allow us to raise awareness of Fuse among the community of OpenZeppelin users and Solidity developers more generally.
