Counted per year

$899k

holders revenue of the last 30 days, $148k, × 365 ÷ 30 (capped at revenue; before the cap $458k), × type factor 0.5 (payouts count 50%)

Distributionbuyback share 18%

Pays out 1.1% of its market cap a year, using 18¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $899k instead of $1.8M.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 180× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 9.2× more expensive than its Dexs peers (median 19.5×, 13 tokens). The group's largest earner Uniswap trades at 37.3×: 4.8× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 5.2×, 3.2× 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 $458k of $2.5M revenue in 30 days → buyback share 18%. DefiLlama: “Money going to governance token holders”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 53% of the month's holders revenue (one day carries the month, so the multiple is not a steady pace); paid to holders this week: 7% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −18% over 7 days and −60% over 30 days, price −26% 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.
