Hadeswap Wash Trading
Oct 23, 2022 - A new sector of NFT marketplaces have begun to gain popularity on Solana, the NFT AMM. One of the most notable NFT AMMs on Solana so far is Hadeswap. Documentation: https://docs.hadeswap.com/ . Note, the founder is one of the biggest "whales" in the NFT space: https://twitter.com/HGESOL . It's clear that this new type of marketplace is gaining popularity in the ecosystem. But how much of it is real trading and how much is 'wash trading' to drive up volume numbers? Note there are no fees in the marketplace so it can be easy to swap back and forth. Create a definition for 'wash trading 'and use that to track sales activity on Hadeswap with our newly curated models in the NFT sales table. How much of the volume seems "legit"? Are there certain accounts that seem to be creating the majority of the volume? What collections have had the most activity on Hadeswap, and how much of that was from 'wash trading'? Now that Magic Eden has moved to 0% royalties, compare Hadeswap 'wash trading' to wash trading on Magic Eden. Does an AMM create more wash trading?

The Great Solana Royalty Debate
Nov 7, 2022 - The most controversial topic on Solana over the past month has been NFT royalties. After platforms like Yawww and Solanart moved to 0% creator royalties, and eventually Magic Eden followed, the market has been in a chaotic state. Magic Eden had cited that almost all funds for a project are coming from the mint, not royalties: https://twitter.com/MagicEden/status/1580367439824826368 Is this accurate, or a misrepresentation of how successful NFT projects have been operating? What projects have been more reliant on NFT royalties than others? What collections were wallets pivoting towards using 0% royalties more frequently? Higher royalty percentages? Higher floor volumes? Are flowing royalties a sign of project health and sustainability? How much volume from 0% royalty sales can be accounted for by wash trading rather than actual user interest? Was this actual user demand, or were decisions made based on inflated data? Compare the rise of 0% royalty market behavior on Solana to on Ethereum. Are users less likely to pay royalties on Solana?
