A monthly edition, dated and cited

Token Buyback Report: Monthly Spend by Protocol

  1. The month in one paragraph

    Total spent on buybacks across tracked protocols, the largest programs and what changed since the last edition.

    • Total buyback spend this month
    • Protocols with buybacks
    • Change against last month

  2. Buyback league table

    Every tracked protocol ranked by the month's spend, with tokens bought, tokens burned and the share of supply removed.

    • Spend per protocol
    • Tokens bought per protocol
    • Share of supply removed

  3. How buybacks were paid for

    Which revenue funded each program (trading fees, other protocol fees or treasury funds) and the share of that revenue spent on buybacks.

    • Buyback spend as a share of revenue

  4. Burned, held or distributed

    What happened to the tokens after purchase: burned, held by a treasury or passed to stakers.

    • Tokens burned
    • Tokens held by treasuries

  5. Programs that started, stopped or changed

    New, paused or changed buyback programs, each with the governance vote or announcement and its first or last transaction.

  6. How this edition was measured

    Block ranges on each chain, the registry changes made this month and any corrections to earlier editions.

About

What it answers, and for whom.

This report ranks the month's token buybacks: which protocols spent the most buying their own tokens, how many tokens they bought and burned and what share of supply that removed. It is dated and closed at the month's last block, so its figures never mix a month with a year or with a running total.

Each amount is cited to the fills and transfers that made it, by the buyback addresses each protocol publishes. Programs that changed during the month, such as a new buyback, a paused one or a new split of revenue, are noted with the governance decision or announcement behind them.

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. The month runs from its first to its last block on each chain in UTC; purchases are fills by registry buyback addresses within that range.
  2. Purchases are valued from the stablecoin or ETH leg of each fill at its block; burns are transfers to the zero address or a known burn address.
  3. Share of supply removed is the tokens bought in the month divided by totalSupply() at the month's first block.
  4. A buyback a protocol reports but that is not found on-chain is listed apart as reported, never added to the table.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What counts as a buyback in this report?

A purchase of a protocol's own token by an address the protocol publishes as its buyback, treasury or fee address, found as a fill on a DEX or an order book. Transfers from market makers count only when the protocol discloses them as buybacks.

Why publish buybacks monthly?

Buyback programs run continuously, and monthly totals compare protocols fairly without mixing different periods. Each edition closes at the month's last block, so its figures do not change after publication.

How is the share of supply calculated?

Tokens bought during the month divided by the token's totalSupply() at the month's first block. It shows how much of the outstanding token the program took off the market in that month.
