FAQs

What does ERC-20 compatible mean?

ERC-20 is a technical standard that allows tokens to interact with each other. ERC-20 was launched in 2015, after the release of ETH. WETH is the ERC-20 compatible version of Ether, which means that it can be used to trade ETH for other ERC-20 tokens on a non-native network.

The use of ERC-20 tokens for all sorts of transactions is increasingly common in the world of cryptocurrencies. Many projects currently leverage the ERC-20 standard to issue tokens to operate their platforms.

What is WETH?

WETH is the compatible version of Ether with ERC-20 standards. To be able to exchange ETH with other Ethereum-based tokens, it needs to be wrapped into WETH. Almost all major blockchains have a wrapped version of its native cryptocurrency. For example, there is Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), Wrapped CRO (wCRO) and many more. WETH has the same value as ETH and is pegged 1:1 to the value of Ethereum.
