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

Distributionbuyback share 33%

Pays out 1.7% of its market cap a year, using 33¢ of every $1 it earns.

Not a buyback: counts for 50% in the multiple (type factor 0.5), so the denominator is $382k instead of $763k.

What we checked

Valuation
Multiple 116× (type factor 0.5: payouts count 50%), 3.1× more expensive than its Lending peers (median 37.2×, 5 tokens). The group's largest earner Sky trades at 26.7×: 4.3× dearer per dollar returned to holders. On total revenue: 18.9×, in line with the revenue peer median.
Distribution
Distribution: Revenue is paid out to stakers or holders (often in another asset); no buy pressure on the token. Holders got $63k of $193k revenue in 30 days → buyback share 33%. DefiLlama: “Liquidation Fees: 20% XVS Vault rewards share of ProtocolShareReserve liquidation income.”
Sustainability
Holders were paid on 30 of 30 days (100%); largest single day 23% of the month's holders revenue; paid to holders this week: 17% of the best week in 90 days (more than half below peak). Revenue +177% over 7 days and −73% over 30 days, price −15% 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.
