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.
EVA
EVA — EverValueCoin at 0x45d9831d8751b2325f3dbf48db748723726e1c8c — is 802 days into an Arbitrum record with a contract that has stayed clean the whole way: it cannot mint new supply, cannot pause or blacklist transfers, source is verified, and the creator wallet holds under 0.01% of supply.
The market structure splits two ways at the October 9, 2026 snapshot. $5.5 million of liquidity is a serious pool in absolute terms but thin against a $818.1 million fully diluted valuation — size an exit against the pool, not the valuation — while the holder side is healthy: 8,567 wallets, with the top ten at about 29.5% — one of the broadest distributions among established tokens this batch.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WETH or EVA?
By tracked market cap: WETH (Ethereum) measures $5.41B and EVA (Arbitrum) measures — — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WETH or EVA?
On the contract checks we publish: WETH (Ethereum) grades A and EVA (Arbitrum) grades A. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WETH and EVA performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-21 and 2026-10-17T03:15:24, the measured snapshots show WETH at −10.8% and EVA at −2.62%.
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, 2026-09-21→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
