Cheems Token

CoinGecko id cheems-token now means the BNB Chain BEP-20 at 0x0DF0587216a4a1bB7d5082fdc491d93d2dD4B413. Its documented launch date is September 28, 2024. The Cheems meme is older, but a shared image and ticker do not merge token histories.

Solana mint 3FoUAsGDbvTD6YZ4wVKJgTB76onJUKz7GPEBNiR5b8wc launched years earlier under the Cheems name. XT renamed it CHEEMSOLD in September 2024 specifically to avoid confusion with a newly listed CHEEMS. It is not the current CoinGecko contract, and the reviewed materials did not identify a bridge connecting the balances of these distinct Solana and BNB assets.

In March 2024, CoinEx processed a 1:1 swap on zkSync Era from 0xd599dA85F8Fc4877e61f547dFAcffe1238A7149E to 0x9Db6BF8B0215A02BEA9beF28A92D829FD008D480. CoinGecko later linked the latter as the old contract and the BNB address as the new one in a September migration notice.

Those notices support continuity claimed by venues and the project, but they do not create a perpetual onchain bridge. Old contracts still exist, and balances sent to an obsolete address do not automatically become current BNB CHEEMS.

On September 5, 2026, totalSupply returned 219,776,051,832,670.729376 CHEEMS with 18 decimals. The verified contract includes owner and minter roles, airdrop and withdraw routes, but owner() and minter() both returned the zero address. No ordinary nonzero controller can use those privileged routes in the published instance.

About 16.103 trillion tokens sat at the zero address. CoinGecko subtracts that balance to show roughly 203.673 trillion effective supply, while ERC-20 totalSupply remains 219.776 trillion. Calling this a burn is economically sensible, but it is not the same as an onchain _burn reducing totalSupply.

Renounced contract roles constrain issuance and contract withdrawal. They do not label exchange wallets, prove a fair launch, lock every AMM position or prevent holders from withdrawing liquidity they own.

The token code has no transfer tax or automatic per-trade burn. The project blurb says no tax, no team reserve and no income; the later MiCA paper says information on resource allocation and issuer-retained tokens was not publicly available. The honest conclusion is that the contract lacks fee extraction while the reviewed sources do not fully establish the original wallet allocation.

BNB Chain announced $50,000 in BNB under Meme Heroes on December 17, 2024. CHEEMS/WBNB pools are live, including 0x38231d4ef9d33ebea944c75a21301ff6986499c3. A grant and a pool balance improve tradability at a moment in time; neither guarantees depth, locks LP ownership or creates redemption.

Kraken’s MiCA paper says there is no formal company or foundation and describes anonymous or pseudonymous volunteers guiding development through X and Telegram. That records the available disclosure. It cannot prove that deployers, migration coordinators, exchange contacts and liquidity managers never act together.

The same paper describes CHEEMS as a meme token whose function is transfer, trade and holding. It is neither an asset-referenced token nor an e-money token. Holders receive transfer and trading rights only: no utility redemption, revenue, governance vote, value-protection scheme, compensation, deposit guarantee or investor-compensation coverage.
