DYOR (Do Your Own Research)
Do your own research. Trust no one blindly, including us.
DYOR = Do Your Own Research. The main crypto rule: trust no one blindly.
Why it matters
Crypto has no regulator. No KYC. Anyone can:
- Create a token and claim "100x in a month".
- Write a fake "insider drop" in a TG channel.
- Buy influencer ads.
If you invest — you're responsible. Nobody will refund losses.
Minimum checks before farming
1. Team: real names/LinkedIn or anonymous?
2. Investors: VC funds (a16z, Paradigm, Sequoia) ≠ usually scam.
3. Contract: verified on Etherscan? Audit by reputable firm (OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits)?
4. TVL history: 6+ months growing = OK; 1 month = caution.
5. Twitter activity: public posts or silent post-launch?
DropFarm is not a financial advisor
We aggregate info, not give financial advice. All our "payout estimates" are approximate. All project links are public. Decisions and responsibility are yours.
