There’s some confusion around chains for tokens named SCRATCH, so let’s start there. The SCRATCH token covered here lives on Ethereum and uses the contract address 0x2fa39203cb335d08e0af7731a8b9ae23d5a59449. It is not the Cronos-based SCRATCH that powers the Boomer Squad NFT ecosystem (that one uses a different address starting with 0x14fb… and runs on Cronos). It’s also not a token on BNB Chain.

Below is a plain-English rundown to help you quickly understand what SCRATCH (ETH) is, how it works, and where people trade it.

What makes SCRATCH notable

• Community-driven meme token: Built to ride community culture and momentum, a hallmark of meme assets.
• Planned burns: The team uses planned “burns” (sending tokens to an irretrievable, dead address) to reduce supply over time, which can create scarcity.
• Zero buy/sell taxes: No extra trading fees coded at the token level, which is attractive for frequent traders.
• Renounced contract: Ownership of the token contract has been given up. In simple terms, the deployer can’t later change key parameters, which many investors view as a security positive. Note: Renounced doesn’t equal risk-free—bugs or existing functions still behave as coded.

How and where people trade SCRATCH

SCRATCH is currently traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), with the main liquidity on Uniswap V2 (Ethereum). It’s not listed on leading U.S. centralized exchanges at the time of writing.

If you want a fast way to analyze activity and trade:

• Track and trade on GMGN.AI: https://gmgn.ai/eth/token/fV1R5sZ5_0x2fa39203cb335d08e0af7731a8b9ae23d5a59449
• Swap directly via Uniswap: https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap

Tip: Always double-check the contract address before swapping to avoid lookalike tokens.

Tokenomics in simple terms

• Supply dynamics: Starting with 10B tokens in circulation, planned burns may gradually reduce the effective supply.
• Zero taxes: There’s no token-level tax added to buy/sell orders. You still pay regular network gas fees on Ethereum.
• Market liquidity: Liquidity and trading volume can fluctuate; thinner liquidity means more price slippage, so use limit orders or split trades if needed.

Security notes you can verify yourself

• Renounced contract: Because ownership is renounced, the contract owner can’t change settings like fees or blacklist functions later. Still, read the contract or use reputable scanners to verify there are no risky functions embedded from the start.
• Burns: Confirm burn events by checking transfers to known burn/dead addresses on a block explorer like Etherscan.
• Liquidity checks: On DEX pairs, look at liquidity size, whether liquidity is locked, and pool age. These clues help you spot potential rug risks.

Common pitfalls to avoid

• Mixing up chains: Don’t confuse this Ethereum SCRATCH with the Cronos SCRATCH used in the Boomer Squad ecosystem (different chain and contract), or with similarly named tokens on other networks.
• Chasing thin liquidity: On DEXs, low liquidity can cause large price swings. Check pool depth before trading.
• Ignoring gas costs: Zero token tax doesn’t mean zero cost—Ethereum gas fees still apply and can spike during network congestion.
