What the data says
WAVAX
WAVAX at 0xb31f66aa3c1e785363f0875a1b74e27b85fd66c7 is Wrapped AVAX — the ERC-20 form of Avalanche's gas token, one AVAX in and one WAVAX out, existing so C-Chain DeFi can hold the native asset inside contract logic. The October 9, 2026 snapshot grades it A: the contract cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze balances, and is not a proxy. A wrapper should be boring; this one is.
The market structure is anything but quiet: 362,576 holders and $19.5 million of tracked pool depth against a $186.1 million wrapped float of 16.9 million units — and $114.7 million of 24-hour volume, turnover running at several times the pool depth. That is what a gas-asset wrapper is for: it is the settlement leg of the whole chain's trading. The ten largest wallets holding 84.3% of supply is the expected silhouette — DEX pools, bridges and routers dominate the large-holder bracket on a wrapped native token.
WETH.E
WETH.E is ether carried onto Avalanche through the bridge — the ".e" suffix is Avalanche’s marking for a bridge-minted asset, and the deployment at 0x49d5c2bdffac6ce2bfdb6640f4f80f226bc10bab is that representation of wrapped ether on this chain.
Our October 9, 2026 snapshot counts 14.4 thousand tokens across 83,575 holders — a $42.9 million market cap with $2.3 million of tracked pool liquidity and $23.8 million traded in the last day, deep for the footprint. The 59.4% top-ten share is the shape a bridged asset takes when its float pools in a few large wallets.

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→2026-10-17T06:15:22; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
