cbETH is Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH — a liquid staking receipt where Coinbase runs the validators, the wrapper accrues staking yield as a rising exchange rate against ETH, and the custodian is a public company. The contract 0x2ae3f1ec7f1f5012cfeab0185bfc7aa3cf0dec22 is the canonical Base deployment; our October 9, 2026 read shows $2.8 million of tracked pool liquidity, with its deepest venues on Base's native DEXes.
The honest framing: cbETH is centralized by design — a single regulated issuer who can, and legally must be able to, freeze the contract. That is a feature if you want a compliance-clean staking receipt and a bug if you measure decentralization. The other real note: cbETH's price is not ETH's price — it trades on its own wrapper rate, and secondary-market discounts have opened in stress before.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 9, 2026; the scan refreshes them. Verify the contract on Coinbase's official asset listing — wrapped-staking tickers get cloned constantly.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 91.81% of CBETH's supply as of 2026-09-27 — a heavily concentrated distribution — a handful of accounts can move or exit this market at will. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

FAQ
Is CBETH a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, CBETH scores 80/100 (grade B) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that has unconfirmed mint controls, has unconfirmed freeze and blacklist controls, liquidity of $2.77M and 204,617 holders, with the creator wallet holding <0.01% of supply. 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 CBETH, or is it a honeypot?
Our Base read covers market structure, not sell-side contract behaviour like honeypots or transfer taxes, as of 2026-10-09. Before assuming you can exit freely, run the live scan above — it reads the contract directly.
Who holds most of CBETH?
The wallet that created CBETH holds <0.01% of the supply as of 2026-10-09 — a small stake, under the 5% the scanners flag. That sits alongside a holder base of 204,617; a broad base lowers the odds that any one seller can steer the price, but the creator's share is the number to watch first.
Can CBETH's supply be inflated?
This snapshot grades market structure only — contract-level supply controls on Base aren't assessed here yet. Run the live scanner, which reads the contract in real time.
What is the CBETH contract address?
The CBETH contract address on Base is 0x2ae3f1ec7f1f5012cfeab0185bfc7aa3cf0dec22. 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 CBETH safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if CBETH clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0x2ae3f1ec7f1f5012cfeab0185bfc7aa3cf0dec22) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
