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.
🌐 Pangkalahatang ideya
This past week, Tokenized Communities and PUMPit remained the primary focus. Beta testing continued across both, with fixes progressing across token state logic, blockchain mechanics, and cross-module behaviour as the team works through the final stretch before launch.
A new app release also went live in stores, adding language support and a broad set of improvements across Auth, Feed, Profile, and Chat.
Beyond the build, it was one of the biggest weeks yet for the ION coin. $ION went live on BingX, MEXC, and SunCrypto, and $1M in liquidity was locked on PancakeSwap for 12 months. The week also brought two new expressions of $ION utility: Bao Trader, a prop trading platform, and Bao Rush, a real-time crypto prediction game — both by our partners at Bao.io and powered by the ION coin.
The week ahead keeps the focus on Tokenized Communities and PUMPit. Once the final blockchain fixes are complete, a new build goes out to beta testers for a final round before launch, with new features including swaps for regular coins, post boosts, and account switching continuing development in parallel.
The pieces are coming together: creator tokens, a growing exchange presence, expanding $ION utility. The next few weeks are shaping up to be big ones.

💬 Ang Pagkuha ni Yuliia
Tokenized Communities and PUMPit remain the centre of gravity right now — and beta feedback continues to be really encouraging. What the testers are surfacing is exactly what you want at this stage: edge cases, small inconsistencies, the kind of things that only appear when real people use a product in ways you didn’t fully anticipate — token state logic, animation behaviour, loopholes in comment flows, that sort of thing. We inch closer to launch with each bug fix. And though the blockchain work is always the last thing to yield and hands-down the hardest and most unforgiving part of any launch, we’re firmly in the final stretch now, and it’s showing.
We also shipped a new release, now live in app stores. We added further languages, tightened up the account restoration flow, and pushed a substantial round of fixes across Auth, Feed, Profile, and Chat — the kind of update where the whole app feels noticeably more complete for it.
And a fun one for our beta community — Bao Rush, a real-time crypto prediction game by our partners at Bao.io and powered by the ION coin — launched in beta this week and our testers got early access. A nice reminder that the ecosystem around Online+ keeps growing, even while we’re heads down on the main event.
📢 Extra, Extra — Read All About It!
Beyond the build, the ION coin had one of its biggest weeks yet. Here’s the short of it:
- ION went live on BingX, with trading open on the ION/USDT spot pair. BingX also ran an Xpool points event alongside the listing.
- The ION x MEXC listing followed days later, with trading live from March 13, and a 17,580,000 $ION + 25,000 USDT airdrop campaign alongside it.
- For the Indian community, ION is now also tradeable on SunCrypto, bringing ION back to one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto markets.
- On the liquidity front, $1M has been locked on PancakeSwap for 12 months — a clear commitment to stability for the ION BSC ecosystem.
And if that wasn’t enough, $ION utility expanded too — with a surprise partnership with Bao.io delivering not one but two new applications:
- Bao Trader — a Hong Kong-based prop trading platform supporting account sizes up to $200,000 across 50+ crypto pairs, and launching this week — opened its whitelist for the ION community, with $ION integrated directly into the platform and revenue supporting $ION buybacks over time.

- Bao Rush, a real-time crypto prediction game powered by BNB Chain and $ION, launched in beta — with all platform activity integrating $ION utility and burning, further expanding the token’s role across the ecosystem.
A busy week by any measure — for Online+, for our native coin, and for our community. Loads more to come!
🔮 Ang Linggong Hinaharap
The focus this week is on closing out Tokenized Communities. The team is working through the final fixes on the blockchain side — once those are done, a new build of both TC and PUMPit goes to beta testers for a final round of testing before launch.
In parallel, development continues across the app. New features in testing this week include swaps for regular coins, post boosts, and account switching — alongside the usual round of fixes across modules.
The final stretch, in the most literal sense.
