What does DYOR mean?

Do Your Own Research, or DYOR, is a phrase used across the crypto community to encourage people to investigate a project themselves rather than relying on hype or others’ opinions.

What it looks like in practice

In practice it means reading a project’s documentation, understanding what it does, checking who is behind it and weighing the risks. It is a reminder to make informed decisions, not a promise that research removes all risk.
