Start with the network and asset
WETH is a tokenized representation of ETH used by many smart contracts. Because WETH is an ERC-20-style token on Ethereum, it should not be treated as identical to native ETH when selecting a route.

Understand WETH representations and what to verify before a cross-chain transfer.

Confirm the exact WETH asset on the source network and the asset expected on the destination. A route can involve an unwrap, swap, or bridge depending on the available infrastructure.
Check the quoted output and transaction sequence before approving. If an unwrap or approval is required, make sure you understand why the step appears and which contract you are interacting with.
Keep a record of the source transaction and verify the destination balance on the correct network. OneSwap can be used to review supported cross-chain routes for assets such as WETH.
