The founders identified the absence of comprehensive solutions to empower financial entities in analyzing and engaging with decentralized finance and web3.
PYOR primarily serves institutional investors, DAOs, and protocols seeking comprehensive intelligence. Its offerings enable clients to conduct thorough research, manage portfolios, and assess risks.

PYOR (Power Your Own Research) is a blockchain-focused technology company that builds data intelligence tools for digital assets, primarily serving institutional investors, protocols, and DAOs.[1][2][3] Its flagship product, XRAY, provides an interpretation layer for on-chain data, enabling analysis of fundamental business performance, relative valuation, custom dashboards, and metrics to support informed investment decisions.[1][2] PYOR addresses the complexity of crypto data by offering institutional-grade research, custom analytics, risk insights, and developer tools, helping clients optimize treasury spending, boost DAO participation, improve capital efficiency, and enhance user retention.[2][3] Founded in 2022 and based in Bangalore, India, PYOR has raised $4M in Seed VC funding from investors like Balaji Srinivasan, Coinbase Ventures, and Castle Island Ventures, showing strong early momentum in the fintech-blockchain space.[1][4]
PYOR was founded in August 2022 in Bangalore, India, by a team with prior experience building in crypto and holding key roles at large projects.[1][5] The idea emerged from the need for high-fidelity insights into digital assets, as institutions struggled with fragmented on-chain data amid growing blockchain adoption.[2][4] Early traction came quickly, evidenced by a $4M Seed VC round from prominent backers including Balaji Srinivasan, Coinbase Ventures, Antler, Castle Island Ventures, and Force Ventures.[1] A pivotal moment was their September 2024 partnership with Arbitrum for "Namaste Arbitrum," a blockchain education initiative targeting Indian students, positioning PYOR as a bridge between data tools and ecosystem growth in India.[1]
PYOR stands out in the crowded blockchain analytics space through tailored, high-fidelity solutions:
PYOR rides the wave of institutional crypto adoption and the explosion of on-chain data from DeFi, DAOs, and layer-2 blockchains like Arbitrum.[1][2] Timing is ideal as global institutions seek reliable analytics amid regulatory clarity and tokenized assets growth, with India's blockchain talent pool amplifying PYOR's positioning.[1][4] Market forces like rising DAO complexity and treasury optimization favor PYOR, as protocols scale but lack engagement tools.[2] It influences the ecosystem by empowering better decisions—e.g., via education initiatives fostering India's Web3 developers—and accelerating institutional inflows into digital assets.[1][3]
PYOR is poised for expansion with its $4M funding fueling product scaling and partnerships, potentially launching more ecosystem-specific tools amid 2026's expected DeFi resurgence.[1][2] Trends like AI-enhanced on-chain analytics and India's crypto policy shifts will shape its path, evolving PYOR from data provider to full-stack intelligence partner for institutions and DAOs.[1][4] As blockchain integrates deeper into finance, PYOR's focus on actionable insights could cement its role in powering the next wave of decentralized investment, building directly on its mission to interpret digital assets for clearer decisions.[2]
