Sushi SUSHI

Payout off peakRank#30in Low payout▼4Score33

Paid to holders this week: 18% of the best week in 90 days ($1k against $8k), while revenue +9% over 30 days. Also: holders revenue is paid out, not a buyback.

Dexs, Ethereum, Fantom, BSC +30, 193 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

holders revenue of the last 30 days, $14k, × 365 ÷ 30, × type factor 0.5 (payouts count 50%)

Distributionbuyback share 5%

Pays out 0.4% of its market cap a year, using 5¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $87k instead of $173k.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 570× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 23.6× more expensive than its Dexs peers (median 24.1×, 14 tokens). The group's largest earner Uniswap trades at 36.2×: 15.8× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 13.2×, 1.3× 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 $14k of $307k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 5%. DefiLlama: “Swap Fees To xSUSHI Stakers: The 1/6 protocol fee share from SushiSwap Classic swaps.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 36% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 18% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −41% over 7 days and +9% over 30 days, price −29% 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.

    “Swap Fees To xSUSHI Stakers: Protocol fee share routed to xSUSHI stakers through the SushiBar flow (Negligible since Mid of October 2025).”

    Negligible (was 38% before Mid of October 2025). SUSHI stakers stopped receiving major part of swap fees in Mid of October 2025; so no part of the fee is counted as going to holders
