OSCAR is a meme token tied to the “Oscar the Shiba on a trampoline” meme that helped inspire early Shiba Inu lore. Despite occasional confusion online, the token at contract address 0xebb66a88cedd12bfe3a289df6dfee377f2963f12 is an ERC‑20 on Ethereum, not a BNB Chain token. Other assets named “OSCAR” exist on BNB Chain under different contracts, so always match the exact address before you trade.
Quick facts
- Symbol: OSCAR
- Network: Ethereum (ERC‑20)
- Contract: 0xebb66a88cedd12bfe3a289df6dfee377f2963f12
- Supply: 1,000,000,000 max; circulating supply ~890–893M
- Market cap: ~$2.6–$2.7M (approximate, varies by source/time)
- Listing context: Distinct from similarly named OSCAR tokens on BNB Chain with different contracts
Origin and community
OSCAR’s narrative traces back to Ryoshi’s 2020 Medium post “All Hail The Shiba!” where the “Oscar the Shiba” trampoline meme appeared alongside the tongue‑in‑cheek line, “Next we tell some more frens and WOW MOON LAMBO PUMPPPPPPY.” Community members view OSCAR as a Shiba‑linked, community‑led (often called a “CTO” or community‑takeover style) token. The project also cites support from Paradox Designer, known for work on Shiba Inu’s iconic logo.
Tokenomics at a glance
- Max supply: 1,000,000,000 OSCAR
- Circulating supply: ~893,798,748 (time‑varying)
- Burns: A portion of tokens has been sent to the dead address to reduce supply over time (dead wallet)
- Fees and limits: Community materials reference buy/sell fees, max‑wallet limits, and fee allocations for development/marketing/charity. Because this contract allows fee changes, always verify the latest parameters on Etherscan and official channels before trading.
In plain English: ERC‑20 means OSCAR follows Ethereum’s standard token rules so it can live in common wallets and trade on Ethereum DEXs. Burns and fees are common meme‑coin mechanics to shape token supply and fund operations, but they also introduce complexity—check them before buying.
Where to trade OSCAR
You can find liquidity and price discovery on both decentralized and centralized venues:
- Decentralized: Uniswap V2 (OSCAR/WETH)

How to buy on Ethereum (simple steps)

- Swap:
- Go to Uniswap.
- Select ETH as the input, import OSCAR via contract address 0xebb66a88cedd12bfe3a289df6dfee377f2963f12.
- Review the fee/tax settings if applicable, then confirm the swap.
- Track and manage: Use analytics dashboards like the GMGN.AI OSCAR page for live flows, holders, and trade activity.
Technical notes
- Standard: ERC‑20 on Ethereum
- Common functions: trading open/close, adjustable buy/sell fees, burn, liquidity add to Uniswap, fee exclusions, anti‑bot/transfer‑delay logic
- Ownership and mutability: The contract indicates the owner can change parameters (e.g., disable selling, change fees, mint/transfer in some designs).
- Audit status: No public audit is listed on Etherscan for this address at the time of writing.
In practice, “mutable” means the deployer or current owner can tweak settings after launch. That can be helpful for early stability but also raises rug‑pull risk if misused.
Ethereum vs. BNB Chain: clearing the confusion
- This OSCAR: Ethereum ERC‑20, contract 0xebb66a88cedd12bfe3a289df6dfee377f2963f12.
- Other OSCARs: There are unrelated tokens named “OSCAR” on BNB Chain with different contract addresses. Names can collide—always verify the exact address on a trusted explorer before trading.
Risks and best practices
- Contract control: Since parameters can be changed by the owner, watch for fee spikes, trading restrictions, or mint functions.
- Volatility: Meme tokens can move sharply on sentiment and liquidity; never risk funds you can’t afford to lose.
- Liquidity depth: Check pool depth and slippage on Uniswap (and order books on CEXs) before placing larger orders.
- DYOR checklist:
Not financial advice. Meme tokens are high risk; proceed carefully.
