I'm 90% sure those are dragonfruit seeds. Were they shipped from China?

Dragon fruit seed is not as glossy and i believe they are smaller. I think they are infact vft seed.

I did see that picture, but I also found this one:

That flat spot on the side near the tip where there is discoloration in the OP is what's throwing me off. Flytrap seeds definitely do not have that. Sellers will ship dragonfruit seeds specifically because they look so similar to flytrap seeds.

Flytrap seeds for comparison:

Well its hard to say. The seed in your first photo appear to be wet. That may contribute to the gloss. Vft seed are glossy when dry.

They look very similar to VFT seeds, but the shape of all of them is consistent and I don't think VFT seeds have that flatness on one side and the asymmetric shape.
