The wait is over — creators and partner projects can now step inside Online+!
Built by the Ice Open Network team on the ION Framework, Online+ is a decentralized social media designed to hand control back to the people who actually make social platforms matter: the creators and the builders behind the most forward-looking projects. We’ve spent the past year building with you, not just for you, and this early access phase is where that collaboration becomes real.
Why Creators and Partners First?
Social platforms live or die by the quality of the conversations, creativity, and community leadership that happen on day one. That’s why creators and partners are first through the door. During development, hundreds of you stress-tested flows, flagged friction, shaped onboarding, and made it clear what “ownership” should actually mean in practice.
Now, this early access launch is welcoming more than 3,000 creators and 100+ Web3 projects that we’ve brought into the ION ecosystem over the past several months. These early Online+ adopters represent diverse ecosystems, use cases, and areas of interest from across Web2 and Web3. They will bring their own audiences — a combined 500+ million people — and their own ideas and innovation into Online+.
Early access isn’t a mini launch. It’s the proving ground where Online+ becomes what it was meant to be: social, community-driven, user-owned.
What Makes Online+ Different?
On the surface, Online+ feels familiar: profiles, posts, messages, audiences. Under the hood, it’s built for digital sovereignty.
- On-chain profiles = your decentralized identity (and wallet).
- In-app wallet = send & receive crypto without leaving the platform.
- End-to-end encrypted messaging = private by default.
- User-shaped feeds = no intrusive algorithms, no ad targeting.
Instead of a platform optimizing for ad inventory, you optimize for your community.
What’s Live in Early Access?
You can now:
- Claim and activate your Online+ profile
- Start posting to populate your profile
- Send and receive crypto directly in-app
- Message other creators and partners privately and securely
Feature rollouts will continue during the early access phase, and we’ll be shipping updates fast based on creator feedback.
Built on the ION Framework
Online+ runs on the ION Framework, Ice Open Network’s modular infrastructure for decentralized applications at Internet scale. That means:
- High throughput, built to handle millions of transactions per second.
- Built for growth, horizontally scalable across billions of users.
- Human-first UX, with no clunky wallet handoffs, no “Web3 maze,” and privacy preserved.
You don’t need to understand blockchains to use Online+. You just show up — and it works.
We’re Building This Together
Online+ exists because creators and builders asked for a platform that respects ownership, privacy, and direct audience relationships. You showed up, and now we’re shipping.
Public launch is coming soon. And when it hits, the Internet won’t just see a new social platform — it’ll see what happens when like-minded creators and projects get to help build one.
If you’re in early access: jump in. Your community’s next home is waiting.
