The creator bought 26.5% of supply in the first 28 seconds, then sold 166M tokens back within about a minute, making up 72% of all volume.
DELPHI flagged FLOWR for wash trading. One wallet, the coin's creator 0x5090…e830, bought and then sold the same tokens back within about a minute of launch. Those round trips make up 71.74% of all tokens traded, well above the 50% FLAG line. Only two wallets have ever traded this coin. Most of the volume came from these few creator trades, so the trading history says little about real demand. The creator also still holds about 78.8% of all tokens held by wallets.
What DELPHI saw
- At launch (second 0), creator 0x5090…e830 bought 1.26M tokens for 10 USDC. At 28 seconds it bought another 264.9M tokens (26.48% of supply) for 4,000 USDC.0x5f01…e940 ↗0x0d78…009f ↗
- The same wallet sold 133.1M tokens for 2,575.99 USDC at 58 seconds, and 33.4M tokens for 418.02 USDC at 89 seconds. That is 166.5M tokens sold back about a minute after it bought them.0x4915…c4bd ↗0xb2be…6917 ↗
- These 4 trades by one wallet make up 71.74% of all tokens traded across the coin's 18 trades. That is above the 50% FLAG threshold. Overall, the creator spent 4,010 USDC and got 2,994.01 USDC back.0x0d78…009f ↗0x4915…c4bd ↗0xb2be…6917 ↗
- The only other trader, 0x1552…7E9e, made 14 small buys about 9.7 to 10 days after launch, spending roughly 1 to 78 USDC each time. It now holds 650,838 tokens (0.06% of supply).0x77d7…4a86 ↗0xa5a2…03de ↗
- The creator still holds 100.3M tokens: 10.02% of supply and 78.8% of everything held by wallets. Its gas money came from 0x81BF…FC89, which DELPHI does not treat as a public funder. The creator also launched or traded 4 other coins with similar names (FLOW, SFLOW, SFLOWR, IFBROW). FLOW is also flagged.0x4c23…b1f4 ↗0xba0c…eab1 ↗
Keep in mind
- The finding rests on very thin data: 18 trades and only 2 trading wallets, with 4 of those trades by the creator. The coin has 29 holders, but most of them got their tokens by transfer, not by trading.
- The launch-bundle and concentration checks came back clear because DELPHI found no linked wallets. Those checks look at groups of linked wallets, not a single wallet, so the creator's large early buy and big holding didn't trigger them.
- DELPHI reports patterns, not intent. On testnet, a creator buying and selling right after launch may just be testing the launchpad.
