Sell signal since Oct 31. REV7 fell to 0.5× of the previous week; REV ratio 0.5×, HR ratio 0.5×. Still open: weekly revenue drop and gradual decline over 30 days still holds. Also active: Distribution cut. See Signals.

Low payout: less than $100k to holders in 30 days, or payouts on fewer than 8 of the 30 days (for a token that pays in cycles of a week or longer: more than one of the payouts its cycle predicts missed); ranked within this group

Mixedbuyback share 20%

Returns 2.1% of its market cap a year, using 20¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 75% in the multiple (type factor 0.75), so the denominator is $329k instead of $439k.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 64.9× (type factor 0.75: a mixed model counts 75%), 3.6× more expensive than its Trading peers (median 17.9×, 26 tokens). The group's largest earner Hyperliquid trades at 21.4×: 3.0× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 9.7×, 2.9× dearer than the revenue peer median.

  2. Distribution

    Mixed: Part buyback, part distribution or burn; the exact split is not known. Holders got $36k of $180k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 20%. DefiLlama: “Token Buy Back: 10% of trading fee revenue funds EDGE buybacks from October 1, 2025”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 10% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 8% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −53% over 7 days and −66% over 30 days, price −25% over 30 days.

What this does not tell you

The figures come from DefiLlama's adapter for each child protocol. Only a few tokens have an on-chain check (see How the buyback really works); for the rest, whether the tokens were really bought, burned or parked in a treasury wallet is not checked here. Unlocks count where DefiLlama or our research has a vesting schedule; team discretion and liquidity depth only once researched.

HR7 is below 50% of its 90-day peak: momentum and divergence are capped at 50. This is not a penalty; the distance already counts in quality.
