The Online+ Bulletin: October 7 – 12, 2025

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.


🌐 Gambaran keseluruhan

With launch now behind us, the focus this past week was on performance, stability, and scale. The team worked across key modules — Wallet, Chat, Feed, and Profile — to make Online+ faster, smoother, and more reliable across more devices. Updates included improved caching and video uploads, smoother playback, a new option to turn off autoplay in Settings, and better cursor control for text editing — all backed by a major round of fixes to ensure transactions, notifications, and scrolling run seamlessly across the app.

As more users joined, Online+ passed 720,000 on-chain addresses, adding over 150,000 in just six days. Conversations that once happened across our other social channels are now moving inside the app, with users posting, chatting, and shaping the first real communities on Online+.

This week, part of the team continues refining the user experience, while another moves ahead with monetization development — the next big step in Online+’s journey. That includes the introduction of token utility, creator rewards, and ION’s deflationary burning mechanism, designed to turn engagement on the platform into real value for creators and users alike.

In parallel, the team is preparing to roll out new integrations — including DEX and no-KYC CEX swaps, bridges, on/off ramps, and cards — expanding what users can do inside Online+ and bringing the experience closer to a fully connected, on-chain social layer.

Beyond the app itself, the Online+ ecosystem kept expanding with new partners joining the platform, adding fresh communities and capabilities. Elsewhere in the ION ecosystem, an AI trading protocol we’re integrating within the ION dApp Framework delivered strong performance during last week’s market dip, while preparations for the ICE→ION migration continued — both reinforcing the foundation for the network’s next phase of growth.

Online+ is live, growing fast, and evolving with every release. The next chapter, where engagement becomes real participation, is just beginning.

💬 Yuliia's Take

These past few days were all about making Online+ faster, smoother, and more stable across more devices. We focused on improving speed, fixing crashes, and making sure videos load quicker and in better quality. The goal was — and still is — to make the app feel light, fluid, natural, and something you truly enjoy using every day.

We’ve also been collecting tons of user feedback and using it to prioritize the improvements that really matter. Every update makes the experience better for more people, and it’s amazing to see how quickly everything is taking shape.

What’s also been especially rewarding this week is seeing conversations that used to happen on our other channels now finding their way onto Online+. Watching people post, reply, and build their own little spaces — it really feels like the community has settled in and made it theirs.

And the growth hasn’t slowed down. In the six days since our first Bulletin, we’ve added more than 150,000 new addresses, bringing us to over 720,000 in total. It’s hard to believe how fast things are moving, even though we get to watch it all come to life, right in front of us.


📢 Tambahan, Tambahan, Baca Semua Mengenainya!

While the dev team focused on stabilization, the wider ION and Online+ ecosystem kept moving forward. New partners joined, important ecosystem updates were made, and new initiatives rolled out across the network:

  • Cryfi, a blockchain-verified social trading app, comes to Online+, empowering traders to prove performance on-chain and helping users learn, copy, and automate strategies transparently and securely.
  • Dogelon Mars is bringing one of Web3’s most passionate meme communities into our decentralized social layer, blending storytelling, imagination, and culture with the open Internet.
  • An AI trading protocol we’re integrating within the ION dApp Framework leveraged real-time global news to trade last week’s market dip, delivering over +30% profit and offering a glimpse of the real-world utility powering ION’s ecosystem. The project will be revealed soon, with community access to follow. Stay tuned!
  • Preparations for the full migration from $ICE to $ION are underway. As part of this process, unlocked tokens are being consolidated into ION’s institutional account with Uphold — a standard operational step that ensures transparency and security as the ecosystem advances.
  • Since many of you asked, our Cointelegraph AMA has been postponed. We’ll announce a new date soon, so you’ll have another chance to hear directly from the team and join the conversation.

From trading innovation to community growth, the ecosystem is evolving fast, and this is just the beginning. We’ll be sharing more exclusives soon — like token utility and new feature reveals — via Online+.
