About

What it answers, and for whom.

A token buyback is a protocol using its revenue to buy its own token on the market, then holding, burning or distributing what it bought. This table ranks protocols by how much they spend on buybacks, measured from the purchases themselves: the swaps and order-book fills made by each protocol's published buyback addresses.

Beside the amount spent, each row shows the tokens bought, how many were burned and what share of the token's supply the buybacks removed over the period. Supply share is the fairer comparison, since a small protocol can retire more of its token than a large one that spends more.

Every amount is cited to its transactions, so a reader can open the fills behind any row. A buyback that a protocol announces but that does not appear on-chain is not counted until it does.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Each protocol's buyback, treasury and burn addresses come from its own documentation or governance decisions, recorded with their source in a registry.
  2. Purchases are swap fills in which a registry address receives the protocol's token: Uniswap v3 and v4 Swap events, Solana AMM swap instructions and HyperCore fills, valued from the stablecoin or ETH leg of each fill.
  3. Burns are transfers of the token to the zero address or a known burn address; tokens still held after a purchase count as bought, not burned.
  4. Share of supply is the tokens bought over the period divided by totalSupply() at the period's first block.
  5. The periods are the last 30 days and the last 365 days, each summed from daily totals; every row's receipt names its fills.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is a token buyback?

A protocol spends revenue or treasury funds to buy its own token on the open market. It may then burn the tokens, hold them in a treasury or pass them to stakers. The effect on supply depends on which of those it does.

Which protocols run token buybacks?

Several protocols fund buybacks from their fees, among them Hyperliquid through its Assistance Fund and pump.fun with a share of its revenue. The table lists every protocol whose buyback addresses are in the registry, ranked by the spend found on-chain.

Is a buyback the same as a burn?

No. A burn removes tokens from supply for good; a buyback only moves tokens from the market to the protocol. Bought tokens can be burned, held, distributed or later sold, so the table shows bought and burned amounts separately.

What is real yield in crypto?

Real yield usually means returns paid from a protocol's actual revenue rather than from new token issuance. Buybacks are one way to pass revenue to token holders, and the protocol revenue ranking shows the revenue side.

Why rank by share of supply as well as spend?

Spend favors large protocols. Share of supply shows how much of the token a buyback actually takes off the market, which is what matters for a holder's stake.

Buyback
A protocol purchasing its own token on the market with revenue or treasury funds.
Buyback and burn
A buyback whose purchased tokens are sent to an address no one controls, removing them from supply.
Burn address
An address with no usable private key, such as the zero address, from which tokens sent can never move again.
