Dropee is an AI-powered app studio that ships viral, reward-driven mini-games and tools for Telegram and other chat super-apps, unified under a single ecosystem token, $DROPEE. The studio is the post-pivot rebrand of Tropee — an NFT utility platform that raised €5 million seed in August 2022 led by Tioga Capital — and is led by CEO Guillaume Lestrade and Executive Chairman Hubert Larenaudie, the former President at hyper-casual game publisher Voodoo. The flagship Telegram tap-to-earn game has crossed 12 million users, and the team has now officially confirmed the $DROPEE token generation event for 27 May 2026, with pre-market trading live on Whales Market on BNB Chain ahead of launch.
What is Dropee?
Dropee positions itself as an "AI-powered autonomous app studio" that automates the application-creation pipeline — concept, content, monetisation, and distribution — to ship many small, viral, reward-driven games on chat super-apps such as Telegram and, per the roadmap, LINE. Its flagship product is a Telegram tap-to-earn mini-game where users build a virtual crypto empire by tapping to earn coins, completing daily tasks, spinning a lucky wheel, doing quests, and inviting referrals. All in-app activity feeds a season-based points system that will convert into a future $DROPEE airdrop allocation.
The target user is a casual mobile or chat-app player who wants lightweight crypto earning without downloading a dedicated app or holding any tokens upfront — the same audience served by Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, and Catizen. Dropee's claimed differentiator is the underlying AI tooling. Rather than betting on a single hit title, the company pitches itself as a studio or factory that uses AI to produce many games per year, all sharing one ecosystem token, so retention can be moved between apps instead of dying with a single game.
How does Dropee work?
The Dropee experience has three layers.
- The Telegram mini-game. Players tap to mine "Dropee Coins," complete the Daily Combo card-combination game that resets every 24 hours, answer a Question of the Day for bonus coins, spin the lucky wheel, run quests and time-limited events, and progress through more than 20 badge tiers from "Broke Intern" toward higher levels. Referrals earn shared bonuses on the friends you invite.
- Seasons and snapshots. Activity is grouped into named seasons. The Season 1 snapshot was taken at the end of May 2025; Season 2 launched on 6 January 2026. Points accumulated across seasons determine each wallet's eventual $DROPEE airdrop allocation, claimed via a connected wallet at TGE.
- The studio layer. Behind the game sits Dropee Create, an AI app builder that lets non-developers ship Telegram mini-games. Dropee Create is currently in waitlist at waitlist.dropee.xyz and is positioned as the productisation of the in-house tooling used to ship the flagship title.
Importantly, the flagship game runs as a Telegram mini-app on the TON ecosystem, while the $DROPEE token itself settles on BNB Chain. Players who participated through Telegram on TON will need to connect a BNB Chain wallet at claim.

$DROPEE Token Use Case
Per the team's public communications, $DROPEE is the unified ecosystem token across Dropee's portfolio of Telegram and chat-app mini-games. Stated utilities include:
In-app boosts and VIP tiers. Spend or hold $DROPEE for accelerated earning, premium features, and VIP access across multiple titles in the studio's catalogue.
Reward mechanics and creator monetisation. $DROPEE is the unit of account for in-game economies and for creators building on Dropee Create, the AI app builder slated to open from waitlist later in 2026.
Marketplace and premium access. Used inside the studio's marketplace transactions and for premium-tier access where applicable.
Note that the project has not yet released final tokenomics. Total supply, allocation breakdown across community, team, investors, treasury, and liquidity, and vesting schedules remain officially undisclosed at the time of writing.
$DROPEE Token Listing
$DROPEE has not launched on any centralised or decentralised exchange. The token is currently available on Whales Market pre-market, where eligible participants can buy or sell expected $DROPEE allocations ahead of the 27 May 2026 token generation event confirmed by the team. Pre-market pricing reflects what willing buyers and sellers currently agree on for an expected allocation; it does not forecast the post-launch token price.
$DROPEE Tokenomics & Fundraising
Tokenomics
Dropee has not yet published final tokenomics. As of mid-May 2026, the team has acknowledged that total supply, allocation across community, team, investors, treasury, liquidity and ecosystem, and vesting schedules have not been disclosed. Numbers circulating in third-party guides should be treated as speculation until the team publishes an official tokenomics post. We will update this section when the official figures are released.
Fundraising
Dropee has one publicly disclosed funding round, raised under the prior name Tropee:
- Seed — closed August 2022, announced 22 November 2022. €5 million led by Tioga Capital, with participation from Sébastien Borget (co-founder and COO of The Sandbox), Lorens Huculak (co-head of Gem, acquired by OpenSea), Thibault Launay (CEO and co-founder of Exclusible), and Grégoire le Jeune.
No additional round has been disclosed under the Dropee name following the rebrand. The $DROPEE listing on ChainGPT Launchpad is the publicly disclosed IDO route alongside the TGE.
Dropee Roadmap & Team
Roadmap
Per CryptoTotem citing the project, Dropee's near-term roadmap focuses on shipping additional titles, opening the AI app builder beyond waitlist, and expanding beyond Telegram.
- Token Generation Event for $DROPEE — 27 May 2026, officially confirmed by Dropee on X after several earlier slips dating back to end of 2025.
- Dropee Create public launch. The AI app builder, currently waitlist-only, is scheduled for public launch in the first half of 2026.
- Multi-app catalogue scale-up. Continued release of additional reward-driven mini-titles under the studio model, with $DROPEE as the shared token of account.
- Beyond-Telegram expansion. Second-half-of-2026 plan to bring the studio's titles to other chat super-apps such as LINE.
Team
Dropee operates as the rebrand of Tropee, founded in 2021 in France by Guillaume Lestrade and François Mahl. The team transitioned from NFT utility on Ethereum and Polygon to AI-driven Telegram mini-apps following the pivot to Dropee.
- Guillaume Lestrade — CEO and Co-founder. Per Dropee's public communications and third-party coverage, his prior background spans French tech ventures including French AI scale-up Meero and Leeto.
- François Mahl — Co-founder of Tropee. Named as co-founder alongside Guillaume Lestrade in the November 2022 funding announcement.
- Hubert Larenaudie — Executive Chairman. Former President at Voodoo (hyper-casual game publisher), President APAC at Unity Technologies, leadership roles at Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard, and Senior Advisor at Blackstone.
Conclusion
Dropee enters the post-Notcoin era of Telegram tap-to-earn games with two advantages most predecessors lacked: a real prior business with €5 million seed funding from Tioga Capital and an executive team that has previously scaled hyper-casual gaming (Voodoo) and AI (Meero). The flagship title's 12 million users and ~400,000 daily active users suggest the studio thesis has product–market fit at the entertainment layer. With the team now confirming the 27 May 2026 TGE, the open questions narrow to the token side: $DROPEE tokenomics are still not public, and the cross-ecosystem path — game on TON, token on BNB Chain — adds claim-time friction. For traders willing to take a view ahead of the official launch, Whales Market pre-market is the price-discovery venue today.
FAQs
Is $DROPEE a token I can buy today?
Not on a centralised exchange. Dropee has officially confirmed a 27 May 2026 token generation event on X, with $DROPEE not yet listed on any major CEX ahead of launch. The token is currently available on Whales Market pre-market on BNB Chain for participants who want to express directional conviction before TGE.
How much has Dropee raised, and from which investors?
Dropee has one publicly disclosed round: a €5 million (~$5.1 million) seed closed in August 2022 under the prior name Tropee, led by Tioga Capital with participation from Sébastien Borget (The Sandbox), Lorens Huculak (Gem, acquired by OpenSea), Thibault Launay (Exclusible), and Grégoire le Jeune. No subsequent round has been disclosed under the Dropee name.
Is the game on TON or BNB Chain?
Both — but they are different layers. The flagship Telegram mini-game runs as a Telegram mini-app on the TON ecosystem, while the $DROPEE token settles on BNB Chain as a BEP-20. Players who earned their points through the Telegram game on TON will need to connect a BNB Chain wallet at claim time.
What is the $DROPEE total supply and how is it allocated?
The team has not yet published final tokenomics. Total supply, allocation breakdown across community, team, investors, treasury, liquidity, and ecosystem, and vesting schedules remain officially undisclosed as of mid-May 2026. Figures circulating in third-party guides should be treated as speculation until the team publishes an official post.
Where can I trade $DROPEE before TGE?
$DROPEE is listed on Whales Market pre-market on BNB Chain, where eligible participants can buy or sell expected $DROPEE allocations before any official token generation event. Settlement-phase start and end dates on Whales Market are TBA. Pre-market pricing reflects what willing buyers and sellers currently agree on for an expected allocation and does not forecast the post-launch token price.
