What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 16.3×, 1.7× cheaper than its Lending peers (median 27.4×, 5 tokens). It is itself the largest earner in the group. On total revenue: 5.5×, 2.6× 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 $6k of $19k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 34%. DefiLlama: “The Treasury's PRL buybacks are not counted here.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 3% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 92% of the best week in 90 days. Revenue −1% over 7 days and −46% over 30 days, price −8% 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.

Protocols behind this token2 at DefiLlama

Per protocol: DefiLlama's methodology text, the distribution type we read from it and the sentence that decided it. The token takes the type of the protocol that returns the most to holders.

  • Parallel Protocol V3
    CDP · Hyperliquid L1, Ethereum, Base, Avalanche
    type mixed · source text
    “The Treasury's PRL buybacks are not counted here.”

    None: the surplus share kept by the protocol goes to the DAO Treasury. The Treasury's PRL buybacks are not counted here. Those funded by the PRL holders' share of Parallel V2 fees under PGP-42 are counted at that fee source, in Parallel V2's holders revenue; the others are paid from the Treasury's holdings (the PGP-40 monthly allocation, the PGP-45 OTC buyback).

    type buyback-burn · source label
    “Token Buy Back: 15% of the fees sent to the DAO Treasury under PGP-42, from 25 May to 31 August 2026, to buy PRL back and burn it.”

    The 15% of the fees for PRL holders since 1 May 2025, 0 before, measured at the fee source as that share of the day's fees. It is passed on to PRL stakers (sPRL1, sPRL2) through the RewardMerkleDistributor, and read from the FeeDistributor's payees. Under PGP-42, from 25 May to 31 August 2026, the DAO Treasury received that 15% to buy PRL back and burn it: a buyback funded by the fees, counted here at the fee source. September 2026, paid to PRL stakers by hand by the DAO Treasury on 1 October 2026, counts as staking rewards. The buybacks the DAO Treasury pays from its own holdings are not counted.

    Staking Rewards
    15% of the fees passed on to PRL stakers through the RewardMerkleDistributor, from 1 May 2025 to 24 May 2026 and since 1 October 2026, plus September 2026, which the DAO Treasury paid to them by hand on 1 October 2026.
