About Wrapped Ether
Wrapped Ether (WETH) is an ERC-20 token that represents ETH (Ether) in a form compatible with decentralized applications and smart contracts. Because native ETH predates the ERC-20 standard, many DeFi protocols cannot interact with it directly. WETH solves this by allowing users to deposit ETH into a smart contract and receive an equivalent amount of WETH, which behaves exactly like any other ERC-20 token. WETH is always redeemable 1:1 for ETH. It is essential infrastructure in the DeFi ecosystem, used extensively in Uniswap pools, lending protocols, yield aggregators, and NFT platforms.

How to Swap WETH
Swapping Wrapped Ether (WETH) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since WETH is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select WETH as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send WETH to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.
How to Store WETH
Store WETH in any ERC-20 compatible Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask, Ledger, Rainbow, or Coinbase Wallet. WETH appears as a standard ERC-20 token in all Ethereum wallets.
