OpenZeppelin’s core mission has always been to protect the open economy. To this end, OpenZeppelin has formed OpenZeppelin Governance (OpenZeppelin Gov) that can act as an independent and active participant in governance. By participating actively in DAO governance, the OpenZeppelin Governance team can proactively advocate for positive governance initiatives based on its 9 years of experience in the industry. OpenZeppelin understands that healthy governance also helps promote protocol security.

While OpenZeppelin Governance (zOS Global Limited) will lean on OpenZeppelin’s long-standing expertise in protocol security and community governance, it will function separately from OpenZeppelin Security (Zeppelin Group Ltd). This will ensure that OpenZeppelin’s audits and security work, including the review of on-chain proposals, remains seperate.
