Wrapped Ether (WETH) is Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, ETH, wrapped into an ERC-20 token to enhance its functionality. This wrapping process allows WETH to be used seamlessly across various decentralized applications and smart contracts that require ERC-20 tokens. WETH maintains a 1:1 value with ETH, ensuring it retains the same market value. By wrapping ETH, users can participate in DeFi platforms, lending protocols, and other blockchain services that are limited to ERC-20 tokens, expanding the usability of Ethereum within the blockchain ecosystem.
