Revenue fadingRank#16in Low payout▲12Score47

Revenue −33% over 30 days. Also: holders revenue is paid out, not a buyback.

Synthetics, Ethereum, OP Mainnet, Base +1, 165 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

Counted per year

$297k

holders revenue of the last 30 days, $49k, × 365 ÷ 30, × type factor 0.5 (payouts count 50%)

Distributionbuyback share 82%

Pays out 15% of its market cap a year, using 82¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $297k instead of $595k.

Pays every ~31 days; next ~Dec 11. A week without a payout is normal for this token; holders revenue is measured over a whole cycle.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 13.0× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 1.5× cheaper than the median of all tokens (19.3×; its category is too small for a peer group). The group's largest earner Hyperliquid trades at 21.1×: 1.6× cheaper per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 6.6×, 2.7× 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 $98k of $119k revenue in 60 days (whole payout cycles, the window the multiple uses) → buyback share 82%. DefiLlama: “MET Distribution: MET distributed to holders.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 2 days in the last 60 days, against the ~2 payouts its cycle predicts (100%) (pays every ~31 days; next ~Dec 11); largest single day 55% of the 60-day holders revenue; paid to holders over the last 60 days: 61% of the best 60-day stretch in 90 days. Revenue −1% over 7 days and −33% over 30 days, price −14% 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.
