For most base cases I still lean on OpenZeppelin — rock solid, well-audited, and actively maintained.

For ERC20 + access control, I usually go:
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";

If I'm messing with DeFi stuff (LP tokens, farming, etc.), I look at older audited projects like Sushi, Beefy, or Solmate (lightweight and gas-optimized).

Not a fan of copying random GitHub gists unless I know who wrote them. Seen too many copy-paste contracts with backdoors 😬

Bonus tip: check https://eth.build/ — good for visualizing contract logic.

Don't reinvent the wheel. Let's share useful templates:

• ERC-20/721 base contracts?
• Access control?
• DeFi functions?

If you have a link to a GitHub repo or audit-ready contract – even better!
