The cat that
never got off-chain.

BSCAT — the Binance Smart Cat — is a community-created BNB Chain meme project documenting its 2023 origin, public records and the story behind the original cat.

Important: BSCAT is unofficial community-made content. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Binance. This website does not ask for seed phrases, private keys or wallet credentials.

The chart below is an official embedded widget served directly by DEXTools.io, loaded here in its own sandboxed frame — the same live data available at dextools.io. This site does not process trades or custody funds; for swaps, use one of the trackers above or your preferred wallet's built-in swap feature, and always verify the contract address first.

A reminder on safety

Always confirm the token address shown in the chart matches 0x16099f55662e02274a99bc73bea249c92bf8eb12 before trading anywhere, check slippage and liquidity first, and never enter a seed phrase or private key on any site — no legitimate wallet flow ever asks for one.

Timeline

How the cat got its lore.

The timeline below is based on public social posts and on-chain records referenced by the BSCAT community. Where a transaction or public post is available, it is linked so visitors can verify the underlying record themselves.

On-chain record

The cited BscScan transaction records roughly 1.5M BSCAT tokens moving from a Four.meme token-manager contract to a wallet publicly associated by the community with Changpeng Zhao. Verify the transaction directly rather than relying on this website's description.

A new cat coin goes viral — and the OG speaks up

A newer token using the same or similar cat imagery becomes a point of discussion in the community. The original photographer publicly questions the use of the image, while BSCAT holders resurface the 2023 history. This website presents the available records so visitors can make their own assessment.

Website security promise

This page is informational only. It contains no wallet-connect library, no wallet-signing request, no seed-phrase form, no private-key form, and no third-party tracking script. The only embedded frame on this site is the official DEXTools chart widget in the "Trade" section above, used purely to display public price data. BSCAT will never ask visitors for a seed phrase or private key.

Fair warning

The history is the story. Verify the claims.

What's documented

CZ posted about the #BinanceCat contest in August 2023, and the cited transaction is publicly visible on BscScan. Those are the records this page points visitors toward for independent verification.

What BSCAT does not claim

BSCAT does not claim to be an official Binance token, Binance mascot, Binance product, Binance endorsement, or Binance-operated project. BSCAT is a community-created meme project.

About other cat tokens

There are other cat-themed tokens using similar Binance or BNB-related names. Rather than asking visitors to trust accusations, BSCAT encourages people to compare contract addresses, deployer information, liquidity, transaction history and official links before interacting with any project.
