Company profile
researched Aug 2026PYOR (Power Your Own Research) is a digital-asset data and analytics company that supplies blockchain data, dashboards and developer tooling to protocols, DAOs and institutional investors. Its stated service lines are dashboards and analytics (custom data solutions for a blockchain or its underlying protocols), risk and governance insights (aimed at increasing DAO participation and optimising treasury spending), institutional tools (on-demand data offerings for institutions tracking and investing in tokens), and developer tools and onboarding initiatives intended to ease engineers' transition into new ecosystems.
The company's positioning is that institutional-grade decision-making infrastructure for digital assets has been limited because the asset class is retail-led, and that an "interpretation layer" and standardised, auditable data are needed to support institutional participation. Alongside custom work, PYOR announced a product called Terminal, described as a plug-and-play data terminal through which institutions can access fundamental blockchain data and write private queries in a tailored dashboard; the company was in private beta at the time of the May 2023 announcement. PYOR also publishes reports and publications and maintains a public GitHub organization containing ecosystem work such as an Optimism delegate-selection tool and delegator-education repository, research on capital migration to the Superchain, and a fork of Livepeer's explorer.
Past work referenced on the company's site includes Avax Pulse (analytics across Avalanche and its chains), an RWA sector-performance dashboard for Arbitrum, a Compound v3 community dashboard and fee calculator covering borrower and supplier metrics, an ICP SNS rewards visualizer, and a Livepeer voting-profile dashboard. The platform emphasises a data dictionary and disclosures defining each metric, custom charts and screeners, and cross-chain comparison across multiple blockchains and protocols.
Founding story
PYOR was founded in August 2022 by Krishna Hegde, Sarmad Nazki, Sharan Nair and Yadunandan Batchu. The founders are described as having more than five decades of combined experience across digital assets and traditional finance, including at Barclays, KPMG, EY and multiple Indian unicorns; their prior work bringing crypto investors onto CoinSwitch was cited by lead investor Castle Island Ventures as the origin of the thesis that institutional-grade data and analytics were missing from the market.
Business model
PYOR sells data and analytics services to organizations rather than consumers: custom dashboards and data solutions for blockchains and protocols, governance and treasury analytics for DAOs, on-demand data offerings for institutional investors, and bespoke developer tooling. It also announced a productised offering, the Terminal data platform, for institutional users.
Not specified in the sources beyond the sale of custom data solutions, institutional data offerings and a terminal product to protocols, DAOs and institutions; Inc42 reports operating revenue of about ₹4.0 crore in FY25.
Traction
Client and ecosystem work cited includes Avalanche (Avax Pulse), Arbitrum RWA sector dashboards, Compound v3 borrower/supplier metrics and fee calculator, ICP SNS rewards visualizer, Livepeer voting dashboard, and Optimism delegate-selection and research projects. Inc42 lists approximately 21 employees and FY25 revenue of about ₹4.0 crore, up 8.7% year on year; the company states protocol partners have seen improvements in capital efficiency, user retention, governance contribution and developer onboarding, though no quantified outcomes are given.
Latest developments
The most recent dated activity in the sources is a repository update in the company's GitHub organization in April 2025 and Inc42's FY25 revenue figure of about ₹4.0 crore, an 8.7% increase over FY24. No funding events after the May 2023 seed round appear in the sources.

Market position
Positions itself as a provider of high-fidelity, institutional-grade digital-asset data and an infrastructure/interpretation layer intended to bring digital assets closer to the data standards of traditional asset classes; its lead investor characterised the team as building auditable infrastructure for the crypto industry. Named ecosystem engagements span Avalanche, Arbitrum, Compound, Internet Computer (ICP), Livepeer and Optimism.
Emphasises standardised, clearly defined metrics via a public data dictionary and disclosures to enable like-for-like comparison, auditable data infrastructure, cross-chain coverage in a single interface, and bespoke solutions built for individual protocols and institutions rather than generic dashboards.
Technology
Blockchain data pipelines and analytics delivered through custom dashboards, charts and screeners, a documented data dictionary and disclosures for metric definitions, cross-chain comparison across multiple blockchains and protocols, and a query-capable data terminal. Public repositories indicate use of Python and TypeScript and tooling such as a dbt-Glue adapter.
Go-to-market
Direct engagement with protocols and DAOs through custom, often ecosystem-funded work and community dashboards (Avalanche, Arbitrum, Compound, ICP, Livepeer, Optimism), plus published reports and research, with an institutional product (Terminal) offered to asset managers, funds and other financial institutions.
Crypto protocols and DAOs, and institutional users of digital-asset data — reported target segments include analysts at global asset management firms, hedge funds, investment banks, wealth advisors, crypto entities such as exchanges and projects, and venture capital firms.
Geography
Incorporated presence associated with Wilmington, Delaware in its funding announcement, with operations and team expansion in India; Inc42 lists the company as headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and its corporate entity as BUIDL Solutions Private Limited.

Its public GitHub organization shows ecosystem project repositories published in 2024 (Optimism delegate-selection tooling and Superchain capital-migration research) and activity on a forked Livepeer explorer into April 2025. Inc42 reports operating revenue of roughly ₹4.0 crore in FY25 versus ₹3.7 crore in FY24.
Risks & controversies
No controversies, litigation or regulatory issues appear in the available sources. Data-completeness caveats: reported figures differ slightly between sources (funding stated as $4 million in press coverage versus $3.99 million+ on Inc42; employee count listed as both 21 and 27 within the same Inc42 profile), and financial data from Inc42 is aggregated third-party data carrying its own disclaimer.
