Smart Contract Template Library — Production-Tested Solidity Patterns

These templates represent the baseline architecture we start every project from. They are not copy-paste ready — every production contract requires specification, testing, and independent audit. But they show the correct patterns.

Template Overview

These templates represent the baseline architecture we start every project from. They are not copy paste ready — every production contract requires specification, testing, and independent audit.

Template 1: Standard ERC-20 Token

Template Example
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC20Permit.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC20Votes.sol";

contract GovernanceToken is ERC20, Ownable, ERC20Permit, ERC20Votes {
    uint256 public constant MAX_SUPPLY = 100_000_000 * 10**18;
    
    constructor(address initialOwner)
        ERC20("GovernanceToken", "GOV")
        Ownable(initialOwner)
        ERC20Permit("GovernanceToken")
    {}
    
    function mint(address to, uint256 amount) external onlyOwner {
        require(totalSupply() + amount <= MAX_SUPPLY, "Exceeds max supply");
        _mint(to, amount);
    }
    
    function _update(address from, address to, uint256 value)
        internal override(ERC20, ERC20Votes) {
        super._update(from, to, value);
    }
    
    function nonces(address owner)
        public view override(ERC20Permit, Nonces) returns (uint256) {
        return super.nonces(owner);
    }
}

Use for: Protocol governance tokens, utility tokens with on-chain voting. Required audit scope: Supply cap enforcement, vote checkpoint correctness, permit signature security.

FAQ

Common Questions

1

No. These templates demonstrate correct patterns but require customization to your specific requirements, comprehensive testing for your specific use case, and independent audit before any production deployment. They are starting points for professional development, not production-ready deployments.
