What the data says about WETH

WETH on Arbitrum is what its name says — wrapped Ether at the canonical L2 address 0x82af49447d8a07e3bd95bd0d56f35241523fbab1, the same contract BitGo's WETH standard established on mainnet, bridged into the chain where most of this index's Ethereum-adjacent volume lives. The September 15, 2026 snapshot reads $6.3 million of tracked pool liquidity on Arbitrum pairs.

What an L2 hop doesn't change: the wrapping contract is the same on every chain — your claim on ETH depends on the bridge that moved it, not on the token itself. On Arbitrum, ETH arrives over the native bridge (trust-minimized) or third-party bridges (each with its own custody), and the token doesn't tell you which rail your counterpart used — that distinction lives in the pool's provenance, not its ticker.

Figures are HostDeFi's read dated September 15, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.

FAQ

Is WETH a safe token?

As of the 2026-09-15 snapshot, WETH scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $6.31M. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.

Can you sell WETH, or is it a honeypot?

Our Arbitrum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-09-15. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.

Who holds most of WETH?

Per-wallet distribution for WETH wasn't resolved in the 2026-09-15 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.

Can WETH's supply be inflated?

This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Arbitrum aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.

What is the WETH contract address?

The WETH contract address on Arbitrum is 0x82af49447d8a07e3bd95bd0d56f35241523fbab1. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.

Where can you buy WETH safely?

Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if WETH clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x82af49447d8a07e3bd95bd0d56f35241523fbab1) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
