What the data says
WEETH
weETH is ether.fi's wrapped eETH — the non-rebasing form of the liquid restaking token that sits on EigenLayer beneath the staking layer, so the holder earns both Ethereum staking yield and restaking yield in one claim. The deployment 0xcd5fe23c85820f7b72d0926fc9b05b43e359b7ee is the canonical mint; our September 26, 2026 snapshot reads $14.4 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The honest mechanics: a restaking token is a claim on ETH that is doing two jobs at once — securing Ethereum's consensus and securing EigenLayer services — which means its risk stack is the union of both: staking slashing, restaking slashing, and ether.fi's own contract layer on top. The yield is real; so is the doubled surface it comes from.
RETH
rETH is Rocket Pool's liquid staking receipt — the decentralized alternative in the ETH-staking market: anyone can run a Rocket Pool "minipool" validator with 8 ETH plus RPL collateral, and rETH appreciates against ETH as rewards accrue. The contract 0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 is the canonical deployment; our September 26, 2026 read shows $11.9 million of tracked pool liquidity, with rETH's deeper venues spread across the wider DeFi stack.
The honest framing: rETH's pitch is credible neutrality — a permissionless operator set rather than one company's validators — and the trade-off is the usual one: a smaller, more fragmented liquidity surface than stETH and its own smart-contract surface (minipool mechanics, oracle DAO) instead of a single issuer's operations. The wrapper price is not ETH's price — it floats on its own exchange rate and has traded at discounts in stress.

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, 2026-09-14→2026-09-26T18:07:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
