Payout, not buybackRank#5in Low payout·Score55

Holders revenue goes to vote lockers (swap fees and bribes), not to a buyback on the market.

Yield, Ethereum, 190 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

$212k

holders revenue of the last 30 days, $41k, × 365 ÷ 30, × type factor 0.429375 (payouts to vote lockers count 43%)

ve / bribesbuyback share 45%

Pays out 8.5% of its market cap a year, using 45¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 43% in the multiple (type factor 0.429375), so the denominator is $212k instead of $494k.

What we checked

Valuation
Multiple 27.4× (type factor 0.429375: payouts to vote lockers count 43%), 1.4× more expensive than the median of all tokens (20.0×; its category is too small for a peer group). The group's largest earner Hyperliquid trades at 21.1×: 1.3× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 5.3×, 6.5× cheaper than the revenue peer median.
Distribution
ve / bribes: Includes bribes and vote incentives from third parties paid to vote-escrow lockers; no buy pressure on the token. Holders got $41k of $90k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 45%. DefiLlama: “Bribes Revenue: Liquidity incentives distributed through vote incentives.”
Sustainability
Holders were paid on 13 of 30 days (43%); largest single day 27% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 100% of the best week in 90 days. Revenue +110% over 7 days and +21% over 30 days, price −10% 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.
