The next phase of the ION journey is here. On December 17, ICE will officially migrate to ION — and this transition will take place directly on Online+, the platform where the ION ecosystem lives, grows, and connects.
This migration is far more than a token upgrade. It marks the beginning of a unified, on-chain community where holders, creators, and early adopters share one connected environment powered by the ION Ecosystem.
For the smoothest experience, we encourage all ICE holders to start migrating their ICE tokens into their self-custodial Online+ wallet starting now. When the migration bridge activates on December 17, you will be able to easily convert your ICE to ION inside the app.
This moment is the start of a new era — where ION becomes the native layer of value inside the products, social mechanics, and on-chain experiences we’re building together.
Online+: The Home of ION
Rather than scattering the migration across multiple venues, we’re completing it on Online+ — the epicenter of the next phase of the ION ecosystem.
Migrating inside Online+ ensures:
- Everything happens in one unified place. Instead of juggling multiple exchanges, you migrate and use your tokens directly within Online+.
- Tokenized Communities launch alongside the migration, giving you immediate, on-chain utility from day one.
- The full monetization suite follows next, expanding what you can do with your tokens inside Online+.
- The entire process is simple and guided — no technical steps or external platforms required.
- You’ll be first in line for upcoming features, product drops, and ecosystem announcements.
- And most importantly, your participation has real impact. Every interaction inside Online+ strengthens the 50/50 loop — turning activity into shared value instead of leaving tokens idle on exchanges.
Earlier, we shared that some exchanges might support the ICE → ION swap directly. As the plan evolved, we chose to run the migration exclusively through Online+ to bring the whole community together under one roof for this launch. After the full migration is complete, exchanges will support ION markets based on the updated setup.
By running the transition through Online+, migration becomes part of the platform itself — the moment when ICE holders step into the environment where ION comes to life socially, on-chain, and across the tools built on the ION Framework. It’s not just a conversion; it’s the beginning of an entirely new user experience.
Tokenized Communities: The First Expression of the ION Era
In parallel to the migration, Online+ will launch Tokenized Communities — the first major ION-powered utility and the foundation of a new, on-chain social economy.
With Tokenized Communities:
- Creators have their own community token, unlocking new forms of ownership
- Followers can support, participate, and rise within communities through tokenized actions
- Community value grows organically and on-chain, based on real interactions
- Discovery, trading, and social engagement all happen inside Online+
- ION becomes a living and breathing asset at the center of your social experience
Launching Tokenized Communities together with the ICE → ION migration brings the whole community into the same environment from day one — the shared, native home where creators and users interact, trade, and grow.
And this is just the beginning. These features lay the groundwork for the broader monetization suite and a wave of new tools that will unfold around migration day and beyond.
What ICE Holders Should Do Now
To prepare for migration:
- Open Online+ and log in or register.
- Access your Online+ wallet or create a new one.
- Back up your recovery codes to ensure secure access to your wallet.
- Tap on Receive, select ICE (not ION) from the listed coins, and choose BSC as the network from the pop-up list.
- Copy your ICE (BSC) address, head to the external wallet where you hold your ICE coins, and opt for crypto withdrawal.
- Paste your Online+ address into the “wallet address” field on the withdrawal screen of your external wallet and select BSC as the network. We recommend that you transfer all your ICE holdings once you’ve tested the process with a small amount.
- Confirm the transaction to move your ICE coins into your Online+ wallet ahead of December 17.
You will be able to migrate on and after December 17, but moving your ICE early ensures the smoothest possible experience when the ICE → ION bridge goes live, and avoids potential congestion during peak hours.
What Happens on December 17
When the ICE → ION migration bridge activates:
- Tap on Swap in your Online+ wallet, and select ICE from your holdings.
- Enter the max amount of ICE coins, choose ION as the network, and confirm the transaction.
- Your ICE coins will be converted to ION 1:1.
- Your new ION holdings will live directly in the Online+ wallet.
From there, you can immediately explore Tokenized Communities, upcoming monetization features, and the growing Online+ ecosystem.
ION trading will open shortly after the migration, and we’re coordinating the timing to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible for all holders.
Community Momentum Is Already Building
Since the initial migration announcement, Online+ has seen a sharp rise in new sign-ups and significantly longer in-app sessions.
The community isn’t waiting for December 17 — people are already exploring Online+, testing features, and preparing for what comes next. This momentum reinforces the decision to make Online+ the home of the ICE → ION transition and the foundation of the ecosystem moving forward.
A Unified Community for the On-Chain Internet Ahead
The migration from ICE to ION is about more than renaming a token. It’s about bringing the entire community together in one environment built on the ION Framework — the infrastructure for a new, user-owned Internet.
Online+ is the first expression of that Internet: a social platform with on-chain incentives, creator-owned economies, and tools that extend far beyond a single app. As the ecosystem expands, ION will connect across chains, platforms, and experiences — but Online+ remains the home base where this next chapter begins.
Move your ICE to Online+, back up your keys, and get ready — we’ll be unveiling more of what the ION era looks like in the days leading up to December 17.
