We’re excited to announce a new partnership with SFT Protocol, a Web3 infrastructure and liquid staking platform focused on unlocking value across decentralized storage and computing ecosystems.
As part of this collaboration, SFT Protocol will integrate into the Online+ decentralized social layer and develop its own community hub using the ION Framework, bringing high-performance staking, liquidity, and data solutions to everyday users and builders across the ION ecosystem.
Together, SFT Protocol and ION are creating deeper on-chain utility, combining access to decentralized finance, infrastructure, and AI-enhanced services with the social-first connectivity of Online+.
Advancing Web3 Infrastructure with Liquid Staking and Scalable Services
SFT Protocol is building a robust Web3 foundation by addressing two key challenges: unlocking the liquidity of staked assets and delivering scalable infrastructure to support next-generation decentralized applications.
Its platform spans:
- Liquid Staking Derivatives: Users can stake tokens (starting with Filecoin and expanding to Ethereum and others) and receive liquid SFT tokens in return, enabling liquidity and yield while maintaining staking exposure.
- Scalable Web3 Infrastructure: Built using the Cosmos SDK, SFT Protocol combines decentralized storage, RPC services, GPU compute, and multi-cloud support to power dApps across blockchain and Metaverse ecosystems.
- AI Integration: By supporting decentralized AI data sharing, privacy computing, and secure infrastructure for AI workloads, SFT fosters innovation at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
Through this unified offering, SFT Protocol is enabling a more accessible, composable, and technically advanced decentralized economy — one that bridges staking, data, compute, and Cosmos-native interoperability.
What This Partnership Means
Through this partnership, SFT Protocol will:
- Integrate into Online+ to reach a wider Web3-native audience through a community-driven social interface.
- Launch its own community dApp using the ION Framework, offering users streamlined access to staking, yield generation, and decentralized infrastructure.
- Support ION’s mission of making high-impact blockchain tools usable, accessible, and socially integrated across everyday Web3 experiences.
This collaboration will embed SFT’s liquidity and infrastructure tools directly into the social layer of Online+, expanding both financial and technical empowerment across the ION ecosystem.
Powering the Future of Liquid Staking and Web3 Infrastructure
SFT Protocol’s integration with Online+ underscores a shared belief in modular, decentralized, and accessible blockchain innovation. By combining staking derivatives, scalable data infrastructure, and AI-enabling services, SFT is equipping Web3 communities with the tools they need to grow, govern, and thrive, without intermediaries or fragmentation.
Together, ION and SFT Protocol are unlocking a new layer of value creation — where staking becomes liquid, infrastructure becomes social, and users stay in control.
