Paid to holders this week: 13% of the best week in 90 days ($4k against $32k), while revenue −8% over 30 days.

Dexs, Starknet, Ethereum, Robinhood Chain, 175 days of data

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

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 10.5×, 1.5× cheaper than its Dexs peers (median 15.7×, 14 tokens). The group's largest earner Uniswap trades at 36.2×: 3.4× cheaper per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 10.2×, 1.7× cheaper than the revenue peer median.

  2. Distribution

    Buyback + burn: Revenue buys the token on the market and the bought tokens are burned. Holders got $69k of $72k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 97%. DefiLlama: “Amount of fees used to buy back and burn EKUBO tokens on Starknet.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 33% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 13% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −86% over 7 days and −8% over 30 days, price −46% 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.
