  WETH, short for Wrapped Ether, is a type of digital currency that represents Ether on the Ethereum blockchain. It is an ERC-20 token that is backed by an equivalent amount of Ether. WETH is used to enable Ether to be traded on decentralized exchanges and other platforms that only support ERC-20 tokens. By wrapping Ether into WETH, it becomes compatible with the Ethereum smart contract infrastructure, allowing it to be easily traded and utilized in various decentralized applications (dApps).

  WETH acts as a bridge between Ether and the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). It allows users to interact with DeFi protocols and decentralized exchanges without having to directly handle Ether. By converting Ether to WETH, users can take advantage of the benefits of DeFi, such as lending, borrowing, and trading, while still maintaining the liquidity and fungibility of their Ether holdings. WETH has become an essential component of the DeFi ecosystem, enabling seamless integration of Ether into various DeFi applications.
