Token Standards
ERC-20 with Extensions

Governance
Governor Setup

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/governance/extensions/GovernorSettings.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/governance/extensions/GovernorCountingSimple.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/governance/extensions/GovernorVotes.sol";

Governor("MyGovernor")
GovernorSettings(
1 days, // Voting delay
1 weeks, // Voting period
100e18 // Proposal threshold
)
GovernorVotes(_token)
GovernorVotesQuorumFraction(4) // 4% quorum
GovernorTimelockControl(_timelock)
{}
// Required overrides...
}
Upgradeable Contracts
UUPS Pattern
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/proxy/utils/Initializable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/proxy/utils/UUPSUpgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/access/OwnableUpgradeable.sol";
contract MyContractV1 is Initializable, UUPSUpgradeable, OwnableUpgradeable {
uint256 public value;
/// @custom:oz-upgrades-unsafe-allow constructor
constructor() {
_disableInitializers();
}
function initialize() public initializer {
__Ownable_init(msg.sender);
__UUPSUpgradeable_init();
}
function _authorizeUpgrade(address newImplementation)
internal
override
onlyOwner
{}
}
Deployment Script
const { ethers, upgrades } = require("hardhat");
async function main() {
// Deploy
const MyContract = await ethers.getContractFactory("MyContractV1");
const proxy = await upgrades.deployProxy(MyContract, [], {
initializer: "initialize",
kind: "uups",
});
await proxy.waitForDeployment();
console.log("Proxy:", await proxy.getAddress());
// Upgrade
const MyContractV2 = await ethers.getContractFactory("MyContractV2");
await upgrades.upgradeProxy(await proxy.getAddress(), MyContractV2);
}
Security Utilities
SafeERC20
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/utils/SafeERC20.sol";
contract MyContract {
using SafeERC20 for IERC20;
function deposit(IERC20 token, uint256 amount) external {
token.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
}
function withdraw(IERC20 token, uint256 amount) external {
token.safeTransfer(msg.sender, amount);
}
}
ReentrancyGuard
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/ReentrancyGuard.sol";
contract MyContract is ReentrancyGuard {
function withdraw() external nonReentrant {
// Safe from reentrancy
}
}
MerkleProof
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/cryptography/MerkleProof.sol";
contract Airdrop {
bytes32 public merkleRoot;
function claim(bytes32[] calldata proof, uint256 amount) external {
bytes32 leaf = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(msg.sender, amount));
require(MerkleProof.verify(proof, merkleRoot, leaf), "Invalid proof");
// Process claim
}
}
Process Integration
| Process | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| All token processes | Token development |
| governance-system.js | Governance |
| smart-contract-upgrade.js | Upgrades |
| staking-contract.js | Staking |
Best Practices
- Always use latest stable version
- Understand inheritance order
- Use Wizard for starting templates
- Audit custom extensions
- Test upgrade paths thoroughly
