We pulled Orbis's own /api/marketplace endpoint (action=getCollections) directly. The result:
63 collections listed — and every single one belongs to or is being used by the same network. Raw API response archived here. The split is:
- 3 admin-sourced — pushed in manually by the Orbis/GOTM team: gotm-labz, gainz, puffsterz. The literal core of this investigation.
- 30 "submission"-sourced — community submissions, but the community submitting is the same network amplifier pool (Fuddy Dogs, MidEvils, MNK3YS, ZMB3YS, Donk, Haxz, LP Dollz, MOB, Stoned Apes, Nuked Apes, Solnautz, VINCENIA, iconito, Goofy Giraffes, D1srupt0rs, B & H Club, Capolavoro Family DAO, Rilegato Family DAO, SOLdiers of the $OATH, SOLdier's of the $Empire, Don's of the $Empire, The Northlanders, Solarians, The Pandarianz, Blubbie Badges, Owltopia, and more). None of these submitted themselves to Magic Eden or Tensor first — they chose the network's whitelabel.
- 30 "discovered"-sourced — a mix of deeper network projects (BASC, Abducted BASC, BASC OG PASS, BASC x Senshi, Vibe Tribe, sodead, Sensei, THC Labz, XElementia, Rafflors, MAGApixel, DEVILS, Geeks, Frens Factory, Cyber Frogs, Dead King Society, Dead King Society Nobles, Caporegime Del $Empire, Wegenettes, Planet Kaiju, ENCHANTED MINERS, Big Cats, Abducted BASC) plus a handful of blue-chip legitimate collections scraped in without consent (Okay Bears, DeGods, Galactic Geckos, SolPunks, Meegos, Blocksmith Labs, sharx by sharky.fi, Bored Ape Solana Club) used as decoys to give Orbis the optical weight of a real marketplace. The legitimate projects were never asked.
Read that again: zero collections on Orbis chose Orbis organically as an independent marketplace. Every listing is either (a) the network's own project, (b) a network buddy submitting from inside the GOTM DAO / raid pool, or (c) a well-known Solana collection pulled in by Orbis without permission to dress the shop window. There is no fourth category. There is no outside, independent project that found Orbis on its own merits and listed with it.
Only THREE collections are "admin"-sourced (manually pushed in by the Orbis/GOTM team): gotm-labz, gainz, puffsterz — the exact three collections at the core of this investigation. The marketplace operators promoted only their own network's projects; every other collection was either user-submitted or scraped from public data.
The homepage "Featured" slot is weaponized: Of 5 featured collections, 3 are network projects — BASC, MOB (only 15 lifetime sales / 4.02 SOL volume), ENCHANTED MINERS (13 sales / 1.42 SOL volume). No organic marketplace would feature collections with <5 SOL lifetime volume. Okay Bears and DeGods are the other two featured — blue-chip legitimacy props. BASC is flagged source=discovered but featured=true — a hand-picked elevation, not an organic ranking.
The network collections listed on Orbis (sample): BASC, BASC OG PASS, Abducted BASC, BASC x Senshi, Puffsterz, Vibe Tribe, GAINZ, GOTM Labz, THC Labz | The Growerz, MOB, sodead, Sensei, Donk, Haxz, MidEvils, XElementia, LP Dollz, Rafflors, ZMB3YS, MNK3YS, Nuked Apes, Stoned Apes, iconito, VINCENIA, Solnautz, D1srupt0rs, Fuddy Dogs, SOLdiers of the $OATH, SOLdier's of the $Empire, Don's of the $Empire, Caporegime Del $Empire, Capolavoro Family DAO, Rilegato Family DAO, Dead King Society, Dead King Society Nobles, The Northlanders, Goofy Giraffes, ENCHANTED MINERS, The Pandarianz, Wegenettes, B & H Club, Owltopia, Blubbie Badges. The same tagging, retweeting, and follow pattern runs through every one of these on X — same amplifier pool, same giveaway raiders, same GOTM DAO sponsorship language, same "Grand Rising" writing style. It's one network laundering volume across 40+ tickers.
The marketplace cannot actually trade. Every individual collection page (orbisonsol.io/marketplace/bascv2, /marketplace/puffsterz, /marketplace/okay-bears, /marketplace/degods — all of them) returns HTTP 503 "Pushing Updates — We're rolling out improvements. The marketplace will be back shortly." The index renders a list of 63 collections; the actual trading UI is permanently "maintenance." Users get directed here from GOTM Labz's site, see legitimate collections in the grid, and never get past the landing.
No collection pays for a premium "orbs" tier. All 63 collections sit on orbsTier: "default". The monetization mechanism Orbis advertises is functionally dead — zero paying customers.
100% GOTM Labz code under the hood: The wallet adapter is literally labeled "GOTM Labz - Multi-Wallet Adapter (v2.1 - iframe bridge)". Authentication uses gotm_auth_token. The wallet object is window.GOTMWallet. Images served from img.gotmlabz.io. CSS uses gotm-wallet-styles. This is not an independent marketplace — it's a GOTM Labz whitelabel with Orbis branding.
Misleading "Partners" section: The
GOTM Labz website lists Orbis as a "Partner" alongside Jupiter, Phantom, Solana, Metaplex, Ledger, and Helius — major platforms with billions in TVL. GOTM's own whitelabel is presented as a peer to these legitimate entities with no evidence any of them consented to the association.
