What the data says
WETH
WETH is the oldest load-bearing contract in DeFi. Deployed in December 2017 as WETH9, the contract at 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2 does exactly one thing: wrap ETH — which predates the ERC-20 standard and doesn't conform to it — into a token that does, redeemable one-for-one, instantly, by anyone, forever. It has no owner, no admin functions, no upgrade path, and no pause switch. Nearly every DEX trade, lending market, and NFT sale on Ethereum has settled through it at some point; it is less a token than a piece of the chain's plumbing.
That architecture is why the usual checklist comes back almost empty. There is no team to rug, no supply policy to abuse — WETH supply is simply however much ETH is currently deposited in the contract, minted on wrap and burned on unwrap. The failure mode people theorize about (the contract holding less ETH than WETH outstanding) would require a bug that eight-plus years of the highest-value adversarial testing in crypto has not found. HostDeFi's October 9, 2026 snapshot shows roughly $903 million of tracked pool liquidity and $73 million of daily volume on this deployment, and both understate reality — WETH is one side of thousands of pools our sample doesn't enumerate.
BEETS
The headline on BEETS is a permission the team still holds. Right now BEETS's contract keeps its mint function (2026-10-09 snapshot), which means the team can still create new supply. Until that changes, BEETS stays around 75/100 — worth watching, and an easy win for the project if they remove it.
By the numbers, BEETS is showing deep liquidity of $439.28K, 7,746 holders and 626 days old as of 2026-10-09. Encouragingly, that $439.28K pool is deep relative to a market cap of about $854.70K — the kind of ratio that lets real size move in and out without much slippage. 7,746 holders is a decent base; just remember the number alone doesn't reveal how much the top wallets control, so weigh it with the concentration figure. On concentration, the deployer wallet holds just <0.01% of BEETS as of 2026-10-09, so the person who launched it isn't sitting on a dominant share.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WETH or BEETS?
By tracked market cap: WETH (Ethereum) measures $5.41B and BEETS (Sonic) measures $854.70K — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WETH or BEETS?
On the contract checks we publish: WETH (Ethereum) grades A and BEETS (Sonic) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WETH and BEETS performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-15T21:43:45, the measured snapshots show WETH at −2.05% and BEETS at +22.5%.
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, 2026-10-09→2026-10-15T21:43:45; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
