// DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
DYOR
Last updated: 2026
DYOR = "Do Your Own Research." It is the single most important rule in crypto, and especially in meme coins. Don't take our word for anything. Don't take an influencer's word. Check things yourself.
1. Verify the Contract
- Only trust the contract address (CA) posted on our official X and official Discord.
- Cross-check the CA in at least two places before buying.
- Look it up on a block explorer (e.g. Solscan) and a price tracker (e.g. DexScreener) to confirm it's the same token.
2. Check Liquidity & Holders
- Is liquidity locked or burned?
- How concentrated is the supply across top wallets?
- Is one wallet holding a dangerous percentage of the supply?
3. Watch Out for Common Scams
- Fake CAs in replies, comments, and DMs.
- Lookalike Discord/X accounts with one swapped letter.
- "Support" DMs asking you to connect your wallet to "fix" something. Real support never DMs first.
- Fake airdrop sites asking you to sign suspicious transactions.
4. Use a Burner Wallet
For meme coins, use a separate wallet that does not hold your long-term holdings. Never connect your main wallet to random sites.
5. Size Your Position
Only ever risk what you are completely fine with going to $0. Meme coins are entertainment, not retirement plans.
6. Take Profit on the Way Up
Pigs get fat, hogs get rugged. Have a plan before you click buy.
7. Ask the Community
If something feels off, ask in our Discord before you click. Everyone was new once.
