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. NexFlow'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.
SKY
SKY is the governance token of Sky — the protocol formerly known as MakerDAO — taking over the job MKR held: voting risk parameters and standing as the recapitalization backstop behind its stablecoins. The deployment at 0x56072c95faa701256059aa122697b133aded9279 is the canonical Ethereum contract of the post-rebrand token.
Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads a $1.8 billion market cap across a 23.5 billion-token supply, with $10.8 million of tracked pool liquidity — thin against the headline — and $760.9 thousand traded in the last day. At 333 days old, the token is still early in the successor role.

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