What WETH represents
WETH is a contract token representing wrapped ETH rather than a network-native gas coin. WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network.

WETH wrapper and underlying-asset boundary
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. Contract transfers, approvals, and unwrap activity remain visible and require native network gas.
WETH contract networks
Ethereum, Terra Classic, Stable, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Linea, Scroll, zkSync Era, Solana, Sui, Tron contain recorded contract representations. Never send the wrapper to an underlying-asset address unless an explicit unwrap route provides that destination.

WETH decimal formats differ
Recorded representations use 3 decimal formats. A receiving application must read the destination contract metadata instead of assuming the source precision applies.
Receiving WETH without a network mismatch
Confirm the WETH contract and keep the network gas asset available separately. WETH does not replace the native gas token. WETH can use different contracts on different networks.

WETH (WETH) FAQs
What is wrapped about WETH?
WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. Wrapper contracts, token approvals, and unwrap behavior remain separate from the underlying native asset.
Can WETH pay native gas?
A wrapped token balance does not replace a network's native gas balance. Confirm both the WETH contract and the gas asset before sending.
Which receiving networks are recorded for WETH?
Ethereum, Terra Classic, Stable, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Linea, Scroll, zkSync Era, Solana, Sui, Tron
Does WETH use one decimal format on every network?
No. The recorded representations use multiple decimal formats. Wallets and routes must use the network-specific contract metadata rather than copying an amount format from another chain.
Can I use a live WETH route now?
Sasquatch currently lists routes for WETH. Exact availability still depends on the selected networks and live quote.
What is the safest WETH receiving check?
Confirm the WETH contract and keep the network gas asset available separately. WETH does not replace the native gas token.
