Wrapped Ether

WETH9 is an ERC-20 wrapper for native ETH. A user deposits ETH and the contract mints the same amount of WETH; withdraw burns WETH and returns ETH. Backing ETH sits in the contract, so the peg is mechanical rather than market-made. Native ETH predates ERC-20, so DeFi apps use this adapter for approve and transferFrom.

Founders

• DappHub WETH9 source carries Dapphub copyright 2015-2017. Not a conventional product team.

Notable

• Canonical Ethereum WETH9, verified on Etherscan as contract WETH9, Solidity 0.4.19. Source submitted 2017-12-12.
• Etherscan showed about 2.05M ETH in the contract and about 3.3M holders at time of check. Supply equals ETH held.
• Zellic published a Z3 formal verification of WETH9, proving totalSupply equals ETH balance and that holders can always withdraw.
• ethereum.org documents this address as the canonical implementation and claims roughly 3% of circulating ETH is locked in it.
• Other chains use different WETH contracts. This address is Ethereum mainnet only.

Unverified

• @ethdotorg and ethereum.org are the Ethereum community portal. They document WETH; ownership of this contract was not shown.
• Named individual deployer of the mainnet WETH9 contract was not established.
• GG call theses (buy ETH / bullish on Ethereum) concern ETH, not this wrapper as a separate product.
