The creator bought 26.5% of supply and sold 16.6% back within about a minute, making up 71.5% of all trading.
DELPHI flagged Elysium Flow (FLOW) for wash trading. The creator's wallet, 0x5090…e830, bought about 266M tokens right after launch and sold about 166M of them back about a minute later. Those 4 trades make up 71.5% of all tokens traded on this coin, well over the 50% FLAG line. Only 2 wallets have ever traded this coin. The rest of the activity is one other wallet making 14 small buys ten days later, so the coin's trading history mostly shows the creator trading with itself.
What DELPHI saw
- The creator 0x5090…e830 launched the coin and bought 1.26M tokens (0.12% of supply) for 10 USDC in the same transaction. 35 seconds later it bought 264.9M tokens (26.48% of supply) for 4,000 USDC.0x5fcd…33a2 ↗0x4e16…b634 ↗
- The same wallet sold 133.1M tokens for 2,575.99 USDC at 65 seconds after launch, then 33.4M tokens for 418.02 USDC at 96 seconds. That is 166.5M tokens sold back within about a minute of buying them.0x80e8…cc63 ↗0x0811…e7c3 ↗
- Across 18 trades, these 4 creator trades make up 71.5% of all tokens traded. The coin was flagged because that is above the 50% FLAG line. The creator spent 4,010 USDC and got 2,994.01 USDC back.0x4e16…b634 ↗0x80e8…cc63 ↗
- The only other trader, 0x1552…7E9e, made 14 buys and no sells between 10 and 16 October. Most were 1 USDC each, and the largest were about 75 USDC for roughly 5.7–6.2M tokens. DELPHI found no link between this wallet and the creator.0x1acd…dc2c ↗0xa5a2…03de ↗
- The creator still holds 100.3M tokens: 10.02% of supply and 77.97% of all tokens held by wallets. The other checks came back clear. The early-buying check only counts buys in the first 30 seconds, and the big buy came at 35 seconds. The holdings check only counts groups of linked wallets, and the creator is a single wallet with no links found.0xaa5f…a361 ↗0x5fcd…33a2 ↗
Keep in mind
- The flag rests on just 4 trades by one wallet on a thin testnet coin. DELPHI reports the pattern, not the reason behind it. It could be someone testing the launchpad.
- 29 wallets hold tokens but only 2 ever traded, so most holders got their tokens some other way, such as transfers. DELPHI found no links among them, but links outside its rules would not show up.
- The creator's wallet also traded 4 related coins (SFLOW, FLOWR, SFLOWR, IFBROW). One of them, FLOWR, is also flagged. Those coins were not reviewed here.
