OSCAR × SHIB — Origin & IP
Before DOGE. Before SHIB. There was OSCAR. Before DOGE. Before SHIB. There was OSCAR. Before DOGE. Before SHIB. There was OSCAR. Before DOGE. Before SHIB. There was OSCAR.
Oscar is the OG Shiba Inu meme (2011 trampoline video) that inspired the spirit of $SHIB. This page documents the shared IP lineage, the design continuity led by Paradox Designer, and how the OSCAR CTO carries forward a leaderless, charitable, builder-first ethos.
Why the SHIB × OSCAR IP Connection Matters
OSCAR honors the roots of the Shiba meme movement and extends Ryoshi’s experiment: no leaders, community first, real-world good.
- Historical Origin: The 2011 trampoline meme (OSCAR) predates Kabosu and shaped early Shiba culture.
- Shared Creative Lineage: Branding by Paradox Designer connects the iconic $SHIB logo to $OSCAR and $COLLAR, preserving visual/IP continuity.
- Decentralization & Charity: A perpetual community mission—builders over bosses, micro‑donations for animal welfare.
- Community Positioning: Bridges the earliest SHIB lore with today’s DeFi—without centralization pitfalls.

FAQ
Is OSCAR “part of SHIB”?
OSCAR is a community‑takeover project with shared IP lineage through design and narrative roots tied to the original SHIB experiment. It honors Ryoshi’s ideals but remains community‑driven and independent in execution.
Who is Paradox Designer?
A founding designer in the SHIB ecosystem and the design/brand lead for OSCAR—creator of the $SHIB, $LEASH, ShibaSwap (original look), $OSCAR, and $COLLAR logos.
Why does the 2011 meme matter?
It’s the joyful nucleus—bounce, symmetry, play—that predates Kabosu’s fame and seeded the culture that later exploded with SHIB. OSCAR preserves that origin energy.
