The Online+ Beta Bulletin: August 25–31, 2025

Benvenuti al Bollettino Beta di Online+ di questa settimana, la vostra fonte di riferimento per gli ultimi aggiornamenti delle funzionalità, le correzioni dei bug e le modifiche dietro le quinte della dApp di punta per i social media di ION, a cura di Yuliia, Product Lead di ION. 


🌐 Panoramica

As August winds down, the work on Online+ is sharper than ever. Last week’s focus was all about tightening the experience and making sure the app feels rock-solid across every module. Wallet introduced memo support for Stellar, TON, and XRP, while chat became cleaner and more responsive with updates to payment messages and notifications. The Feed saw a round of refinements too — steadier Stories, smoother carousels, and fullscreen video that feels natural on mobile. Small changes, but together they add up to a noticeably more polished experience.

Bug fixing was another major focus, with issues tackled across Auth, Wallet, Chat, Feed, Profile, and General flows. From login hiccups and broken deeplinks to voice message reliability and video playback, the team has been closing out the edge cases that show up in real-world use. Each fix means more confidence as we move toward launch.

Looking ahead, stabilization continues to be the name of the game. With four new hires joining the effort and the final details being polished daily, momentum is only building. The product feels stable, the polish is showing, and our 3,000+ creators are being onboarded.

💬 Il punto di vista di Yuliia

The focus right now is all about tightening the experience. Wallet got smarter with memo support for Stellar, TON, and XRP, Chat feels cleaner with better handling of payment messages and notifications, and the Feed is steadier and smoother with improvements to Stories, carousels, and full-screen video. These may sound like small details, but together they add up to a product that feels sharper and more reliable every day.

Bug fixing has also been front and center — not just ticking boxes, but chasing down the kinds of edge cases that only show up when real people use the app. It’s about making sure everything behaves the way it should, no matter the flow or device. 

Even with me sneaking in a short holiday this week, the team kept the momentum rolling, and I couldn’t be prouder. Honestly, that’s the sign of a strong team: when you can step away and know the work won’t skip a beat. It feels like we’ve hit a rhythm where everyone knows what needs to be done, and they’re just powering through it.

The product feels stable, the polish is shining through, and with every build we’re that much closer to opening the doors.


📢 Extra, Extra, Leggi tutto!

Even as we stabilize for launch, growth doesn’t pause — the ecosystem keeps expanding and earning recognition:

  • SEECOIN is joining Online+ with a mission to transform creator and brand engagement. Building on its Web2 success with partners like Microsoft and Sephora, SEECOIN will now bring verifiable, on-chain interactions into the ION ecosystem.
  • ION scores AA on CertiK Skynet. With a 91.96 score and Gold-level team verification, ION is now ranked among the most secure and transparent projects in Web3. It’s a strong endorsement of the standards we’ve set from the very beginning: user-first, resilient, and trustworthy infrastructure.

Together, these milestones underline what Online+ is all about: building credibility, expanding utility, and welcoming the next wave of users and partners as launch approaches.


🔮 La settimana che verrà 

We’re welcoming fresh energy into the team with four new hires over the past few weeks — more hands and minds to carry us through the final stretch. At the same time, the focus remains crystal clear: bug fixing, stabilization, ongoing creator onboarding, and polishing every corner of the app so it feels smooth, fast, and reliable from the very first moment users log in.

Even with some of the team catching the last days of summer, progress hasn’t slowed for a second. Every new build feels tighter, every issue closed adds to the sense of readiness. The atmosphere is all about locking things in now.

We’re almost ready to roll. The big question is: are you?
