Developers on EVM compatible blockchains can make use of battle-tested libraries of smart contracts using https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts
I'm thinking about having a basic functionality, let's say a base auction contract and then the developer can add/modify whatever he/she needs for his/her specific use case.
Is there something similar on Cardano or a base repo with Plutus Smart Contracts on it for us to take a look?
Thanks
There's no official or adopted standard library in Cardano, yet, as it is on Ethereum.
Anyway, in my opinion the best tools and techniques for Plutus can be found in this repo: https://github.com/Plutonomicon
It belongs to MLabs, a Haskell, Rust, Blockchain and AI consultancy that has built more than 30 projects in Cardano.
There is also more information about their tools here: https://plutonomicon.github.io/plutonomicon/
You can find reference plutus implementations here on github that can be used as a starting point:

You can also look at the cardano essential list and hopefully there will be more open source projects that you can also reference in the future.
