Revenue fadingRank#38in Low payout·Score26

Revenue −20% over 30 days. Also: holders revenue is paid out, not a buyback.

Liquid Staking, ICP, 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

$15k

holders revenue of the last 30 days, $2k, × 365 ÷ 30, × type factor 0.5 (payouts count 50%)

Distributionbuyback share 100%

Pays out 2.5% of its market cap a year, using 100¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $15k instead of $30k.

What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 79.1× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 4.2× more expensive than its Staking peers (median 18.8×, 5 tokens). The group's largest earner Lido trades at 18.8×: 4.2× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 39.6×, 2.3× dearer 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 $2k of $2k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 100%. DefiLlama: “WaterNeuron DAO applies a 10% fee on staking rewards that are directed towards WTN (the DAO token) stakers.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 5% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 71% of the best week in 90 days. Revenue +45% over 7 days and −20% over 30 days, price −25% 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.
