I was deeply involved with ICO back in the day but these days, I'm not much active and I really don't have much idea which site provides better insights though I know most sites are biased and paid. Still, I believe there will be a few sites which worth to have a look on. Suggest me some ICO tracking sites please.

You have the answer mate, ICO is no more and you are asking about ICO tracking websites? I don't use them since many are scam projects I just hunt for new projects using coinsniper, too much of shit tokens this days so be careful out there, make sure you look deep into projects by doing your own research.

Thanks for the tips and alerts. Yeah I'm more than aware about where to put my money. I'm looking for something useful project which can really be a thing in the coming future. I have got some good experience from the past though these days scams have been increased significantly while back in the day, there was a very little scam project.

I can only suggest you cryptorank. https://cryptorank.io/upcoming-ico I have been using this to track the latest IDO or IEO from the various sites and it's not only that but you can also try to track the information about how much ROI that already made by projects that launched through various IDO and IEO platforms. This is a very helpful site for me to track the upcoming projects that will be launched soon. Im always using this to know who much ROI that already made as well.

There were so many of them back in 2016-2018 after which ICO craze died down and those sites were vanishing quickly or being sold off to some other shady groups.

Of course they had paid systems which makes the system biased to show some "premium picks" on the top of the lists when searching for projects to invest in. Either way, your own research was more important when going through such projects instead of relying on these sites. There had been instances where the forum members reported a scam against some project and it was truely a scam, but the sites never removed them from their pages.

For the current few years, ICOs have been on the decline, NFTs and DeFi were the last buzzwords. So if you are looking for a site that tracks ICOs, just use a search engine, but never rely on their stats to make a decision. Do your own research, message the advisors on linkedin to see if they are really associated with the project and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Have you seen this before? Im still using this to get the high quality ico https://icodrops.com/ Me and so many friends in the icodrop tele group were always talking about which was the next gem that is worth to invest. There are so many upcoming ICO to come like moxy and cybertrade.

You can also see bunch of upcoming icos that already backed by various venture capital as well. Some may backed by coinbase or binance labs.

It's still alive and im using this as the best site to get the best icos that will come soon.

I'm also not often involved in ICOs anymore now during 2019 because I've had a few disappointments in the past so I'm just focusing on trading, stakes, and also the campaign because it's very unlikely to disappoint me at this point. So there is no site I can recommend right now.

Mind taking a look into Doge Dash project? That project is from the Popular MTV base personal (Paul Caslin), it was why I invested in it right from day one, the team are well experienced and they are open to many possibilities, its a play to earn game available all PC and Mobile, they introduced NFTs in-game assets some months ago

I don't trust ratings because many of them easily sell their opinions.It is enough to track the tweeters of all popular exchanges and you will definitely not miss anything.I do exactly that and explore future projects myself.

As far as I know they've changed the name to IDO, IPO and so on, however the process is the same and that is to raise funds. Now at this time of moment, I don't know what they call it anymore as I was aware of them back when I was active at bounty hunting. Well times flies pass and I my self wanted to look for something like what OP is trying to find.

I used to use ICObench and similar sites, but the days of ICO are long gone.
At the moment there are quite a few different kinds of ways to track new projects, but I have an old fashioned way, I just browse the Announcement thread with new tokens on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=240.0

Still the popular ones if you're still into ICO.

Like icobench and icodrops.

ICOs are not known anymore these days compared to what they were a few years ago. But if you think that it's worth it for you to take on your interest with them.

That's your decision.

I don't follow most of them anymore and the transition has changed into metaverse and nfts and I think in the near future, it will change again too.

in current time difficult for ico site to manipulate their review, in few year alot crypto investors become smarter than before.alot improvement in project analisys and even very detail on tokenomic and use case.time is changes now, if they keep their work by lieng , maybe less a month they will have no more audience. bit consequency will come to them.

Icos have been evolving into IDO and IEO with the help from some decentralized and centralized platforms like exchange sites or decentralized exchange sites. Im usually using icodrop to get the latest information about what will become the next legit ico that will come soon. I do know the owner of this site and we are also actively looking for another legit IEO or IDO to make some money from investing in the platforms. I do like how this guy as the owner of the site is also talking with its member about the potential upcoming IEO or IDO.

I have been using the Cryptorank website for the past few months. There you can find fresh analytics on ICO, IDO and IEO. In the IDO/IEO tab, you can see where and when various sales take place, how much percentage the token made from the sale price, capitalization, and much more. Cryptorank is also a news aggregator. In my opinion, this is one of the best resources for an investor and trader.

While this is no longer how I approach new projects, these are still sites that I feel they update on a regular basis and have a selective filter for new projects. You can easily search for and find the quality of the updated projects on these websites.

From 2017 up to 2019, I used to invest in some ICO but due to many fraudulent activities on many ICOs, I was stopped participating in them. instead, I try on the new trend which is the IEO's, offered by some of the industry's legitimate crypto exchanges like Binance, and most of them give me a decent profit. Anyway back on the topic, you should try ICO Bench because I find it more interesting and very active in listing new ICO projects till today. 

All right. All rating sites have long-established themselves as corrupt. Any rating can be bought. Fraudsters used this already in 2017, and today they will not miss the opportunity to provide a bunch of fake information about themselves. If a person cannot check the legality of the project himself, then he is guaranteed to fall into the hands of a scam project.
I'm just amazed at the resilience of those people who still believe in new projects and expect any profit by participating in their investment programs.

I'm surprised that even ICO is already tag as scam still there are few people searching for running projects. This is why I never get surprised if ICO scams still exist these days because there are still few number of people trying out their luck to earn on this schemes. Right now or even before all of that ICO lister site is scam since they are accepting bribe for scam devs just to lost theirselves as a better project so that they can scam people again.

You probably looking for launchpad since ICO method is not already popular nowadays for crowdsale. Try to search for Bluezilla launchpad (BSCPAD, ADAPAD, VELASPAD and many more) since they are the best source of trusted IDO from a reputable project. There’s a lot of launchpad these days but Bluezilla stand the most of them. And also I don’t know if there’s still reliable ICO tracking site.

For me the best one to follow with some good output is the icodrops. They arent just posting new projects but also informing users if you are following their telegram announcement section, about some great news about different projects. I usually seen new ones being offerend and even release sales and date. Very good platform for  scouting and acquiring new projects.

As some people said above only using icodrop to tracking the reliable ico sites. This is the most trusted ico site based on so many review from so many users of icodrops. it's providing so many information related with the ico that listed on the icodrop. I think this is the best site to be used to get which was the potential ico that will be boom soon. I heard that so many major coins are starting from there and so many ico developers wanna be listed on that site but it's not easy as well.

I understand where you are coming from but I think that looking at the market of icos is the wrong place to look for such a project, and the reason is simple, even if a group of honest developers wanted to develop something innovative the stigma over icos is so big that it is impossible to shake it off, even for projects that could be considered to be legitimate, so with that in mind I think it is better to simply move on and forget about icos completely.

I think we are no longer in the ICO heyday, we are now entering the era of DeFi, metaverse, NFT. In 2018 we may see there are many ICO review sites that help us to get the best projects around ICO investment, but now they have disappeared. But I can tell you where I get information about current popular project updates, I usually follow some project reviews on the telegram channel, and am active in the DeFi, NFT and metaverse communities, that's where I look for information.

Icodrops have been running for some time now but they are only for getting a list of upcoming projects.

The main thing that should come from the investor's side is the research done on the project, its advisors and their background, profit making methods and potential competitors. Because often it has been seen that advisors leave all of a sudden selling their stake and moving to another project - it is their nature to move like that. Yet again the project might just have some face value and not method to generate an intrinsic market demand, in which case it is a bust in the long run.

All these factors come into view when doing research and often scams get identified because of this. Tracking what a site publishes is fine but that should not be the determining factor to buy a coin.

Of course I will combine some suggestions from ICO tracking when I want to invest in ICOs and some ICO tracking that I usually follow since 2017 are: icohunter.org, coincodex.com and icobench.com.

If i don’t believe any ico sites right now because of there no existence of ico project, it’s dead. Back in 2017 when i was active in ico bench to find good ico projects and it was most popular ico tracking site, then i think ico drops was looks pretty legit to provide reliable ico projects. But still i think both of the sites are the best as a ico tracking sites.

I don't think there is any good right now. I use twitter for research them. If you know how twitter works and how their search option works you can find there ICO projects that are trending now or are mentioned a lot. I start from there.

ICOholder, FoundICO, ICOdrops or CoinPaprika are some examples when it comes down to informing about new ICOs. However, the days that the numerous ICO websites ranked first among the search results of the search engines are long gone and the list is quickly shrinking.

ICOs are a thing of the past and since crypto sphere has never stopped evolving, so did ICOs. Though certain processes, what was once known as ICO is today's modern IDO or IEO.

There are good and legitimate projects out there of course. However, you should always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) since there are also many, many scams promising the moon.

You must always take a lot of opinions into account before deciding what your next investment will be.

As a final rule of thumb - never invest more than you can afford to lose, even if you believe you have found the next crypto gem.

I rarely get involved in new projects so there is no exact information to suggest potential new project tracking sites for the future, that tracking results are actually not completely trustworthy by the community because since the ICO 2018 era a lot of speculation ICO tracking sites are paid to increase the reputation of top projects as a newcomer project.

Referring to new project tracking sites is highly discouraged because there is a possibility that certain projects will be featured on the top list because there may be hidden fund transactions with the site owner team. Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, but for whatever reason only rely on their own research capabilities to look for potential ICO/IDO projects for future profits.

I only consider icodrop because of their trackrecord, long year standing and success rate of coin of the site but it does not mean we should completely rely on them, do your own research.It was discovered in the last bear that some of those ratings are influenced by the projects and they even make up the team of new projects. Such case make them bias

A few years ago I made Tokenmarket.net the best reference because most ICOs registered and entered the top 10 ranking at Tokenmarket.net will reach the hardcap, but after the tokenmarket stopped I diverted to Icooholder and several other ICO reviews.

The most famous one is CMC but yeh it’s biased and paid

This is not surprising, those projects receive a significant amount of money from investors so it is reasonable to think that some developers use part of those funds to try to get positive reviews for their coins and in that way attract even more investors to their project to the point they will get more money invested than what they use to pay that bribe, it is because of it that investors need to be incredibly careful when reading those reviews as you have no way to know how much influence was exerted by the developers to get that review.

The old forms for people to have access to new projects like ICO are no longer so popular. They are replaced by forms like IEO, IDO,... and you can still easily it is simple to conduct a search at icodrop, cryptorank, coinmarketcap, and so on.
But IMO, the accompanying trends make the promotion of investment happen faster, and in the future, there will be new ways to approach.

There are quite a lot out there that google can provide but most have the same functions and ICOs displayed. ICOdrops, ICObench etc., and there's also ICOs that can be found on coinmarketcap. Wherever you look really won't make that much of a difference except time of posting and explanations which doesn't matter that much in my opinion.

The question that you'd be better off asking is how to spot a good ICO to invest in be it money or effort. Which has been asked in this forum several times already and answered dozens of times by several forum members that had lots of experience in dealing with ICOs. If you try reading through most of these answers, you will see that there are valuable pointers being mentioned and in some cases, personal experiences plus strategies and more.

These information in my opinion are far more valuable than links that display ICOs or even signals of some sort because you are the one looking for ICOs, you are the one reading about it's roadmap, you are the one verifying the identities of the developers, you are the one measuring the level of their marketing strategy, you are the one immersing yourself in their community to see how solid or toxic it is and not just some random people you don't know who created a website that displays ICOs and rates them with god know what standards.

Not that I am saying all ICO website or ICO rating websites are not trust worthy, I am just saying that most aren't and that knowing more than the information that an ICO tracking site is feeding you is much much better.

I hope you get my point and that this helps you.

As others have already mentioned that ICOs are no more a thing in the crypto space you should try not to look at any of them.
Even if you find any, most likely you will end up losing money in them. If you want to invest in the initial stages of a project go for Binance launchpad.
It has better options to invest in projects at early stages and will most likely not end up in being a scam.

ICOs are no longer interesting for me, it's better to participate in the IEO or maybe also whitelist a project that already has a useful product that can be a problem solver so that it will get a lot of users and of course can have an influence on movement the price so that investors can profit from rising prices and the use of the product.

rather than following an ICO watch website, you better dig the current trend yourself, surf on twitter. Currenty the popular thing is Metaverse so find out any project about the Metaverse and find which one has good community over discord and telegram. I don't think ICO tracking website is still relevant for now.

People still look and invest in ICO? Honestly I lose my faith in ICO projects, a time around 2016-2017 I invested to different promising projects but they all failed to at least list it in an average exchange site at least and that's the time IEO came. It is just surprising that some people are still looking and searching for ICO projects.

None, 99.99% ICOs are hot garbage. You are better off doing dca into prominent coins, not saying you will be 100% safer but certainly much safer than ICO gambling.

Currently there are no more ICO projects that we can follow all these projects have been included in the scamer category so many investors who have switched to using new projects such as NFTs, metaverses and other new projects that do pay us in promoting their projects, so what to look for ICO tracker sites all just waste your time and no payment you will receive, Trying to join a new project I think is more profitable.

I think not worth by investing on ICO right now almost all kinds of ICO have been close and never have new project opening pre sale on ICO kinds, have several new project partnered with Binance exchange by adopting with launchpad sale. Nowadays all project coins launching with IEO but looks have really gone last few months ago. Maybe you can be investor on launchpad with several exchange market have opening with this kinds investment, check with stable coin and consistent price for staking and joining launchpad project.

ICO is nothing nowadays. They lose the hype and with the competitors.
Even other similar kind of investment offering such as IDO, IEO, STO are filled with scammers because they just talk bullshit but offer nothing in the end with how well they lure people to attract investors without any real-world use case at all. There will be like 1 or 2 among a hundred of projects that you can track but it's difficult to track them because between legit and scam projects are close to similar.

ICO projects have had a bad reputation for years because many of these projects have become a scam, so I think that there are honest ICO projects, but it will be difficult for you to find them because most of the sites that provide tracking and reviews for a specific ICO are sites that get listing fees for any ICO even if it is The ICO project has no value, these following sites will help you, but do not forget to do your research: Icodrops.com, Topicolist.com.

Well, actually, I don't think that ICO is still worthy again. Maybe it will be more about the other token sales or sales on the DEX at first.
I am also wondering, are the ICO tracking such as https://icobench.com/ and also https://icodrops.com/ still working well enough to select the legit ICO?
They always say that their rates are done by the experts. But I personally don't know how expert they are and how much has been removed because the projects are scam

ICO It has been dead for a long time so I think there are still many sales that are still much in demand like IDO, ILO etc. we can only follow the trend about successful sales for the project but with what being said its not easy we have to hunt whitelist to get in in their pre-sales because this is very limited because those who follow this must have broad insight and strong in analyzing projects.
However, we have to be ready with our large capital, now it is more determined how much we invest in the slot.

ICOdrops was also the website that I was looking at when I first invested into ICOs back in the days when it was still like popular everywhere, even outside the forum. I also tried ICOBench back then, but I was wary that many reviews there could have been paid that is why I refused to check that website anymore.
Are there seriously a paid ICO tracking websites? I cannot imagine people paying for those, let alone having a "paid" adviser for the same purpose.

ICOs got ruined by the same thing that has ruined every new concept in this sector, unregulated hype on vaporware. First there were altcoins and then came ICOs which has since then been followed by other forms of "coin offerings" and now it is DeFi followed by NFT and Metaverse.

But the ICO craze has died out just like each one of these are dying out only to be replaced by something new. The point remains same, there are scammers who attempt to use the hypes to produce a number of scams or backyard projects. They dont become something big but end up drawing money from newbies who are willing to risk it. Maybe the newbies will learn a lesson from them but the true purpose of the owner got fulfilled - stealing some cash for free.

Like many users have said, you can follow any ICO site you want, but the end result is same because almost every ICO/STO/IEO is a shitcoin now. So good luck to those who are crazy with the trendy ones.

Something that I find surprising is how people do not see this, I could understand they could be deceived when they were newbies but after some time they should be able to see the pattern in which after a certain period of time passes a new type of coin is hyped, it goes up in value, and then it suffers a massive crash, only for the cycle to begin all over again after some time, which tells me that either investors are not really putting any attention to those cycles or they are just so greedy that they do not even care as long as they have a chance to make some money.

Not for beginners, maybe even those of us who have known him for a long time still sometimes feel cheated or even feel a loss.
They are big investors, small money doesn't mean anything to them as long as they get big money from their profits, of course they don't think about anything, especially because all they think is opportunity.
But for us of course we have to look carefully and think more deeply to make every decision.

Some people do learn the lesson but there is a constant flux of new investors who are completely new to the modes of deception and deceit that these projects use to coax them into giving them money. While older users who have been seasoned from stock, IPO and commodity markets know such tricks, it is the young blood who gets into such hypes mostly.

Tracking ICOs is a simple job, but a useless thing to do, I hope people gradually understand this and in future stop putting money in any hype based scheme because none of them are going to change the mainstream market. But bitcoin will always prevail, so focus on that.

After reading OP's post, this thought occurred to me. Does anyone else want to invest in it. Weird.

Oh yeah. You are not the only one who lost faith at ICO in those years. There must be many such people. The funny thing is that it was ICO 2016-2017 that attracted many to the topic of cryptocurrencies. And the funny thing is that in the eyes of all these newly minted ICO investors, almost every ICO project then seemed promising and certainly capable of making a good profit. What all this led to, many already know from their sad experience. But apparently Pffrt has not yet experienced those "sweet" sensations when his investments disappear in an unknown direction with the organizers of those same ICO projects. :) I really hope that he will give up this idea with the search for ICO and find a better and more reliable use for his money.

Upd: Especially that this account is registered in 2014 (Pffrt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=303184)). He certainly had to catch the years of ICO hype.

I only knew icodrops and icoholder in here. But in my own experience I don't believe too much to a ICO ranking or rating website, I experience it before that in order for my past project to be listed they need to get paid which is normal, and then there's a rating that we saw after our listing, I immediately ask that person who sent a review because his LinkedIn profile was there and he said, in order for him to remove such remarks we needed to pay him 1.5eth that was 2018.

Well, I guess we need to forget about ICO, they are gone long and the credibility of their projects has been lost. Does have any ICO can still be trusted, I'm so doubtful about that.

It is likely that person what to scam you...I certainly found that some project reviews or feedback has been manipulated, paying people to do the positive reviews for the sake of having money.  This is the reason why I don't just consider reading their feedback instead, I go checking and digging their history as this will tells us how they could perform for the incoming.

Yeah, same here, way back 2018 I followed a lot of ICO websites but it just fell on the radar for me. I'm not sure if ICO though is still the thing this 2022, as obviously they've lost the hype already as new project emerges with different methods to attract investors. Unfortunately, I can't recall those websites anymore but for sure there could be some that survived and most likely doing still doing their thing, providing investors which some good (and bad) ICO projects.

Surprisingly there are still some ICO projects nowadays if you do tend to look on bounties section or board where there are still a number of projects who do look for funding.

Long time ago where these icorating sites were really that famous and known specially icobench as far as i remember and on the time that ICO trend has gone or over
then these sites arent really that relevant anymore.Therefore, i dont see on why people do still boggle up their mind on finding these kind of sites unless
if they do still have that money to invest or this one involves on bounty hunting?

those site provide alot information , but the most used by my only coinmarketcal to find the nearest fundamental will released in near time. i am believe they have good team research about new project although some of them maybe paid for promotion,. with reference given we could start observe in which project we will in, maybe by reading some reviw it could help us find benefit or disadvanatges from any projects.

Back in the days,i used to follow IcoHolder bumper to bumper,but as ICOs are getting less popular and IEOs got in, i lost interest.Now its IDOs taking up the reins of crypto crowdsale,though IEOs are still doing its thing

Cryptorank, icodrops, dropsearn and coinmarketcal will be enough to keep you up to date on all the developments in the world of venture capital investing and new projects. Cryptorank for market price tracking, coinmarketcal for project updates, dropsearn for various testnet and ambassador programs among new projects, and icodrops for tracking all available ico at the moment. For venture capital investing, this is, in my opinion, the most optimal set. There are also some good telegram channels on this topic that you can also keep track of.

The truth is that I did not know that there was a lot of data about being aware of ICOs, the truth is that I have only followed one ICO for now and it was because a great campaign manager proposed it and managed it, that is where I won, otherwise I do not trust, in Actually what percentage of reliability is there in those sites? because the truth is that in telegram it is very difficult to trust that every moment I get many messages where people tell me to invest in certain projects or to join some trading platforms, these things are what make me doubt telegram.

Many telegram channels are built on the shilling model and advertising of specific projects, as well as on referral programs, so I would not trust the projects they select. I always analyze information from several resources to get more objective information, if some site publishes false information, which is very different from other resources, then this service can be abandoned, because most likely it just advertises the projects it needs, inflating the data on not the best ico and making them more attractive when making an investment decision.

IEOs started because ICOs became very dangerous. If you still want to follow ICOs, there are many websites that serve you. I think the best quality is cryptorank (https://cryptorank.io/upcoming-ico). Because this site also shares important data about ROI performances (https://cryptorank.io/ieo-platforms-roi). I still recommend you to follow IEOs instead of ICOs. Maybe Binance, Kucoin, FTX and Bybit would be good choices. I wish you good luck.

You know one of the reasons why we don't need to trust 100% of those ICO tracking sites. This is why I never followed any ICO tracking sites till now, I prefer to trust my own research. It is very difficult to have honest ratings on ICO tracking sites because they are highly indicated to be paid for that ratings. Because of this, many people think that taking a look at the ratings of crypto projects on ICO tracking sites, only wastes our time. If you want to consider buying the tokens of a new crypto project, you are better to do your own research. and DWYOR  ;)

Do you know! ICO was no longer alive so no rating site is required for our crypto life. I try to follow my own knowledge before investing in any currency and I think it is enough for me. You can learn more about the new project from cmc if you want. Moreover if you can follow other social media then your investment will be right. So you should forget ico time and take new market situation which still running.
