What the data says about WETH
There's a small gap on this page — WETH's contract flags weren't fully confirmed as of 2026-08-19. So it's best treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed clean, and a quick live scan will confirm the current state for you.
On liquidity and holders, WETH shows $99.02M of on-chain liquidity and 1,694 days old as of 2026-08-19. Depth like $99.02M matters most relative to your own trade size; it's what decides whether you exit at the price you see or slip on the way out.
The nice thing about a read like this is that it isn't fixed. It climbs as liquidity keeps building past $99.02M and the holder base stays healthy; and a thinner pool or a tighter spread among the holders would nudge it down. These figures are from the 2026-08-19 read; the live scanner has WETH's current numbers whenever you want them.

FAQ
Is WETH a safe token?
As of the 2026-08-19 snapshot, WETH scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on its unconfirmed mint authority, unconfirmed freeze authority, liquidity of $99.02M. 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 Ethereum read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-08-19. 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 2026-08-19 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 Ethereum 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 Ethereum is 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2. 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 (0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
