Doing your own research (a.k.a. DYOR) is a common mantra thats used frequently across the cryptocurrency and blockchain communities; and for good reason. DYOR is a continuous process for all of us.

Furthermore, the monitoring and examination of cryptocurrency projects is not a one-time deal for investors. Its an on-going process and investors need to stay informed about things like project milestones, changes or additions to development teams, announcements, and external threats from competing projects or changes in the regulatory environment.
