wstETH on Base is Lido's wrapped liquid-staked Ether bridged to the chain — the non-rebasing form of stETH that DeFi pools can price cleanly, deployed at the canonical Base address 0xc1cba3fcea344f92d9239c08c0568f6f2f0ee452. Our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $3.3 million of tracked pool liquidity.
The same note as its Arbitrum sibling applies: a staking token's value accrues to holders wherever it sits, so pool liquidity understates the float — wstETH's job on Base is collateral and LP composition, not spot trading. The claim underneath is Lido's validator set plus the bridge that carried it here.
Figures are HostDeFi's read dated October 6, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 75.56% of WSTETH'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 WSTETH a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, WSTETH 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 $3.30M and 457,724 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 WSTETH, 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 WSTETH?
The wallet that created WSTETH 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 457,724; 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 WSTETH'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 WSTETH contract address?
The WSTETH contract address on Base is 0xc1cba3fcea344f92d9239c08c0568f6f2f0ee452. 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 WSTETH safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if WSTETH clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (0xc1cba3fcea344f92d9239c08c0568f6f2f0ee452) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
