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 October 9, 2026 snapshot reads $10.6 million of tracked pool liquidity against a $47.8 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.
Figures dated October 9, 2026; the live scan refreshes them.
Balance concentration: the 10 largest token accounts hold 48.99% of WETH's supply as of 2026-09-27 — meaningful concentration; watch whether the large accounts are pools and lockers or free wallets. Note these are token accounts: liquidity pools, exchange wallets and lockers count among them, so read this together with liquidity, not instead of it.

Is WETH a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, WETH scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a contract that cannot mint new supply, cannot freeze or blacklist transfers, liquidity of $10.62M and 371,737 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 2026-10-09 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 $10.62M of measured depth.
Who holds most of WETH?
WETH has 371,737 holders as of 2026-10-09. 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 2026-10-09 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.
