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.
USDT0
USDT0 at 0xe7cd86e13ac4309349f30b3435a9d337750fc82d is the Monad deployment of the omnichain Tether standard — the OFT-formatted dollar designed to move between chains without wrapper accumulation. The September 27, 2026 snapshot prices the 52.4 million local units at $52.5 million fully diluted, inside the asset-wide $4.1 billion market cap.
The Monad book is young — 300 days into the record — and reads thin for the stable's size: $920.4 thousand of tracked pool depth on $207.5 thousand of daily volume. For a same-day redemption instrument that is workable retail depth, but it is not the deep institutional book the ticker implies on older chains.

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