I noticed an interesting material about how IDO platforms developed a few years ago. In 2023, CryptoRank compiled a quite intriguing ranking table of the most popular platforms for launching projects. It's worth understanding what was happening there.
It turns out that ChainGPT_Pad was leading with an impressive rating of 2,940,179 — clearly, the project received serious community support. Next was Poolz with a rating of 1,480,042, which positioned itself as a reliable platform for startups. DAO Maker held third place (1,250,926) and was considered a classic in the IDO platform genre, especially for projects seeking funding.
Then it gets more interesting. SeedifyFund with a rating of 850,162 attracted attention both for its functionality and investor base. EnjinStarter (371,405) offered a unique approach to launches in the crypto space. BullPerks (339,028) demonstrated growing influence on the ecosystem. WePad IDO (320,610) also had its audience. Decubate (272,739) held a solid spot in the ranking, and SingularityDAO (234,826) positioned itself as a platform for innovative projects.
Closing the list was Kommunitas with a rating of 183,275 — also an active player in the IDO platform market, though with less fame.
These ratings showed not just popularity but the real development of the crypto industry. Each platform played its role in supporting new projects. Of course, now the situation has changed, but back then, these data reflected market dynamics. If you're interested in the history of the IDO ecosystem's development, it makes sense to track how these platforms have changed and what remains relevant.
