What ICO Drops does

ICO Drops, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Moscow, operates an independent web-based database and calendar tracking Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs). The platform catalogs active, upcoming, and ended token sales and is supplemented by an ICO Stats module for market analytics, a VC & Funding Rounds tracker for venture capital activity, and a Points Farming module for airdrop and incentivized-program monitoring. The core technology is a web-based relational database of crypto fundraising projects with calendar synchronization to standard consumer calendar applications across iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

The platform serves two primary customer segments: retail crypto investors and traders who use the site as a free research and scheduling tool for token-sale opportunities, and blockchain/crypto projects that pay advertising fees to gain visibility through promoted listings. Revenue is generated entirely through these listing/advertising fees paid by token issuers, while end users access the platform free of charge. Marketing is largely organic, driven by SEO via the public ICO Calendar, plus Twitter and Telegram channels (with separate EN and RU communities and a dedicated Cryptonarnia and DropsEarn chat).

ICO Drops has expanded beyond its single-platform origins into a multi-brand ecosystem comprising DropsTab (analytics), DropsEarn (crypto earning opportunities), and DropsCapital (investment services, with a dedicated Russian-language version). Leadership is led by CEO Sergey Blyudov and co-founder Alexey Zhuravlev. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional backing, and no headcount or revenue figures are publicly available.
