What the data says
AAVE
AAVE is the token of DeFi's biggest lending protocol — the asset that secures Aave's safety module and governs the money market that's been clearing loans continuously since ETHLend in 2017. The deployment 0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 is the canonical mint; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $12.6 million of tracked pool liquidity on this pair set — thin against a float that trades everywhere.
The honest shape: AAVE's thesis is unusually concrete for a governance token — stakers backstop protocol shortfalls with their own stake, so the token is literally collateral for the system's solvency, which ties its value to Aave's actual revenue and risk book rather than pure governance vibes. That makes it closer to a productive asset than most of this index — with the caveat that "productive" here still means "exposed to one protocol's loan book."
WEETH
weETH is ether.fi's wrapped eETH — the non-rebasing form of the liquid restaking token that sits on EigenLayer beneath the staking layer, so the holder earns both Ethereum staking yield and restaking yield in one claim. The deployment 0xcd5fe23c85820f7b72d0926fc9b05b43e359b7ee is the canonical mint; our October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $9.7 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: a restaking token is a claim on ETH that is doing two jobs at once — securing Ethereum's consensus and securing EigenLayer services — which means its risk stack is the union of both: staking slashing, restaking slashing, and ether.fi's own contract layer on top. The yield is real; so is the doubled surface it comes from.
FAQ
Which is bigger, AAVE or WEETH?
By tracked market cap: AAVE (Ethereum) measures $2.79B and WEETH (Ethereum) measures $5.52B — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, AAVE or WEETH?
On the contract checks we publish: AAVE (Ethereum) grades B and WEETH (Ethereum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have AAVE and WEETH performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-07 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show AAVE at +22.6% and WEETH at −0.70%.
The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-07→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
