DYOR

Do your own research: check the claims yourself instead of taking a stranger's hype as the whole story.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

DYOR is a familiar sign-off in crypto posts and group chats. In practice, people use it to say: read the docs, check the sources and understand what you're getting into. Sometimes it is useful advice; sometimes it is tacked onto a sales pitch. Those four letters don't make the pitch trustworthy.

How you might use it
