What we checked

  1. Valuation

    Multiple 13.0×, 2.5× cheaper than its Lending peers (median 31.9×, 4 tokens). The group's largest earner Sky trades at 26.7×: 2.1× cheaper per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 3.7×, 6.2× cheaper than the revenue peer median.

  2. Distribution

    Buyback: Revenue buys the token on the market; the tokens stay in circulation (treasury, stakers or LPs). Holders got $340k of $1.2M revenue in 30 days → buyback share 29%. DefiLlama: “Token Buy Back: Spark treasury buys back SPK tokens using protocol surplus revenue.”

  3. Sustainability

    Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 4% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 23% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue −35% over 7 days and +133% over 30 days, price −24% 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.

Market cap at close ÷ (holders revenue of the previous 30 days × 365 ÷ 30), with holders revenue capped at revenue and × the type factor: the same effective multiple as the peer median. Values above 100× are drawn at the top. Bands as on the meter; dashed line = peer median today.
