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.
SUSDAI
SUSDAI is the staked wrapper of USDai — the yield-bearing form of a dollar token issued against AI-infrastructure financing — trading on Arbitrum at 0x0b2b2b2076d95dda7817e785989fe353fe955ef9. The October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $7.6 million of tracked pool liquidity, the deepest single line item in this slice of the index.
What the numbers say: roughly seven months of trading history behind it, about $2.2 million of 24-hour volume against that liquidity base — a turnover ratio near 12%, the shape of a yield instrument held rather than churned. The ~$1.11 print against a $1-asset wrapper is consistent with accrued staking yield rather than a broken peg, though the snapshot alone cannot separate the two.
FAQ
Which is bigger, WETH or SUSDAI?
By tracked market cap: WETH (Ethereum) measures $5.41B and SUSDAI (Arbitrum) measures $479.95M — dated snapshots, not a live feed.
Which is safer, WETH or SUSDAI?
On the contract checks we publish: WETH (Ethereum) grades A and SUSDAI (Arbitrum) grades B. A grade is a structural check on the contract, not a promise about the asset.
How have WETH and SUSDAI performed over the shared window?
Between 2026-09-16 and 2026-10-16T21:15:32, the measured snapshots show WETH at +0.95% and SUSDAI at +0.35%.
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, 2026-09-16→2026-10-16T21:15:32; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
