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 September 27, 2026 snapshot shows roughly $926 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.
MUSD
MUSD — MetaMask's USD — is the wallet's own stablecoin: a dollar token aimed at the place its users already live, issued through the M0 infrastructure stack and meant to move between chains as one instrument. The deployment at 0xaca92e438df0b2401ff60da7e4337b687a2435da is on Monad, where our September 27, 2026 snapshot shows $1.4 million of tracked pool liquidity — among the deepest pools we measured on the chain.
What to be honest about: a wallet-issued stablecoin's strength is distribution — every MetaMask user is one tap from it — and its risk is concentration in the issuer's own stack. Backing, redemption and chain-deploy mechanics live with M0 and the contracts behind this address; our snapshot did not assess this deployment's contract-level controls, so the live scan is the place to verify before treating the label as the substance.

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, 2026-09-15→2026-09-27T21:19:38; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
