Welcome to this week’s Online+ Bulletin, where we track new features, performance updates, and standout moments from the decentralized world of Online+, brought to you by ION’s Product Lead, Yuliia.
🌐 ওভারভিউ
This past week was about refinement and steady progress. With the platform performing well across more devices and usage patterns, the team focused on polishing the experience — making interactions feel lighter, faster, and more natural.
A number of improvements are coming across the app: replying in Chat with a swipe, smoother video controls, faster media handling, and a clearer interface for Creator Tokens. Performance upgrades are also making scrolling, loading, and transitions feel more fluid. Alongside this, a broad set of fixes across Wallet, Chat, Feed, Profile, and general behavior are helping remove remaining friction and strengthen everyday usability for the growing user base.
Growth continues to be strong and consistent. Online+ has now surpassed 904,000 on-chain addresses, adding roughly 100,000 new users over the past week — just as we did the week prior. New communities are forming as well, with additional AI-driven tools and blockchain-based creator platforms establishing their presence inside the app and bringing focused, engaged audiences into the social layer.
With this momentum, the team is preparing to release the next production version, while continuing development on the larger features ahead — Swaps, Tokenized Communities, and the broader monetization system designed to turn participation into real value. Once the new version is live, the next feedback cycle begins, and we’ll be iterating on that in real time.
The rhythm has shifted — from building foundations to refining the experience and shaping what comes next. Online+ is maturing, and stepping into its next phase.

💬 ইউলিয়া'স টেক
This week had a different rhythm. Not quieter, but smoother — we’re starting to run out of rough edges.
We focused on the kinds of improvements that shape how the app feels: replying to messages with a swipe, faster media handling, smoother video controls, better scrolling and performance across screens. These are small things on paper, but together they change how natural the platform is to use.
What’s interesting — and a bit surreal — about this stage in the development of Online+ is that the feedback we’re getting is no longer about things being broken, but about preferences, flow, polish, and new feature ideas. We’re at the point where the product is maturing, and I’m suddenly realizing just how much we’ve already built. And this realization will probably take a while to sink in.
That said, the next production release goes out this week, and I’m genuinely excited to see the next wave of feedback. That cycle of “feedback → change → release → feedback → repeat” is what keeps the app evolving in real time, for us on the backend, and for the community.
Surreal or not, it’s a good feeling working on something that isn’t just functioning, but working so well. Better still is knowing there is so much more exciting stuff ahead.
📢 অতিরিক্ত, অতিরিক্ত, এটি সম্পর্কে সব পড়ুন!
Online+ continues to grow — and not just by numbers, but in the kinds of communities choosing to make their home here.
- Pilot, the AI Co-Pilot for Web3, has joined Online+ as part of their goal: to make interacting with wallets and digital assets feel as natural as talking to an assistant. Their community now has a home inside Online+, where conversations, learning, and discovery happen in one place.
- Digika.ai, an AI + blockchain freelance marketplace, also came on board, bringing global creators, independent professionals, and businesses into the social layer. Their presence adds a new dimension to how people collaborate, build work reputations, and form communities inside Online+.
- And we’ve recorded yet another week of steady, organic growth by nearly 100,000 new users — Online+ now counts over 904,000 on-chain addresses, up from ~808,000 just 7 days ago. At the rate we’re going, we’ll be celebrating our first million soon!
Online+ is becoming a place where communities move in, not just visit. And we’re still only at the beginning.

🔮 সামনের সপ্তাহ
We’re releasing a new production version this week that addresses most of the issues the community has reported so far. It’s a continuation of the refinement cycle — tightening the experience, smoothing out interactions, and making sure things work smoothly.
At the same time, we’re continuing development on Swaps, Tokenized Communities, and the broader monetization features that will allow users and creators to earn based on their activity and contributions inside Online+. These are larger updates, and they’re progressing steadily in the background.
The rhythm is different now — less heavy lifting, more tuning and evolving on the go. And once this release is out, I’m looking forward to the next wave of feedback. That’s when we see where the app wants to go next, and we move with it.
