What the data says about WETH

WETH on Optimism is wrapped ether at the chain’s canonical address — 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006 sits in Optimism’s predeploy range, the contract every app on the network treats as WETH. The wrap is mechanical: ether in, an ERC-20 twin out, so pools and routers can hold it like any other token.

Our September 27, 2026 snapshot reads $10.0 million of tracked pool liquidity against a $50.4 million market cap, with $15.3 million changing hands in the last day — deep for the footprint, the grade B profile of core chain infrastructure rather than a listing with something to prove. Tracked supply here is 18.1 thousand tokens.

The honest note: a canonical wrapper’s risk is the wrapper contract and the bridge path behind it, not an issuer’s promise — and this deployment predates most of the chain at 811 days old. The number a real order meets is the pool depth above.

FAQ

Is WETH a safe token?

As of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, WETH scores 100/100 (grade A) on NexFlow's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $10.00M and 372,599 holders. 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?

The 2026-09-27 contract read found no sell-blocking controls on WETH — no honeypot flag, no transfer pause, no blacklist — and every honeypot GoPlus positively flags is dropped from this index outright. That clears the contract side; how cleanly an exit fills still depends on your size against the $10.00M of measured depth.

Who holds most of WETH?

WETH has 372,599 holders as of 2026-09-27. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.

Can WETH's supply be inflated?

No — the contract cannot mint new supply as of the 2026-09-27 snapshot, so the circulating figure is a ceiling.

What is the WETH contract address?

The WETH contract address on Optimism is 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. 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 (0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
