holders revenue of the last 30 days, $2k, × 365 ÷ 30 (capped at revenue; before the cap $128k), × type factor 0.5 (payouts count 50%)

Distributionbuyback share 80%

Pays out 0.2% of its market cap a year, using 80¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $13k instead of $26k.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 1.2k× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 37.4× more expensive than its Lending peers (median 31.9×, 4 tokens). The group's largest earner Sky trades at 26.7×: 44.8× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 8.2×, 1.7× cheaper than the revenue peer median.

  2. Distribution

    Distribution: Revenue is paid out to stakers or holders (often in another asset); no buy pressure on the token. Holders got $128k of $159k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 80%. DefiLlama: “Borrow Fees: Share of one-time borrow fees paid by borrowers, distributed to stability pool depositors and protocol token stakers.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 8 of 30 days (27%); largest single day 98% of the month's holders revenue (one day carries the month, so the multiple is not a steady pace); paid to holders this week: 2% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −94% over 7 days and +409% over 30 days, price −28% 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.
