Welcome to the Online+ Monetization Deep-Dive: a six-part series unpacking how every feature in Online+ turns everyday actions into real value and fuels ION’s deflationary, user-owned Internet.
Unlocking a Premium Social Experience
Premium Accounts on Online+ introduce a more private and enhanced way to participate in the network.
They elevate how you show up, how you communicate, and how you move through the platform, all while reinforcing the economic model that powers the broader ecosystem.
It’s an upgrade to how you feel using Online+: more focused and more secure.
With Premium, users gain:
- An ad-free experience, removing interruptions while ensuring creators still earn through the 50/50 model.
- A hexagon profile marker — a visual badge that distinguishes premium accounts.
- Quantum-resistant encrypted chat, offering future-proof privacy that remains secure even against next-generation computing.
And like every monetization feature in Online+, Premium strengthens the ION economy with every subscription.
Inside the Online+ Premium Model
Premium Accounts add meaningful layers of clarity and privacy to the platform, while keeping the core Online+ experience simple and familiar.
Ad-Free Experience
Premium removes ads from your feed entirely. Even without ad views, the ecosystem still benefits: the Premium payment enters the 50/50 loop, continuing to support creators and fuel the ION burn engine. You enjoy an ad-free feed without reducing creator revenue.
Hexagon Profile Marker
Upgraded accounts feature a distinct hexagon badge — a visual indicator that a user holds a Premium Account. It offers a subtle form of presence across the platform, signaling that this is a committed Online+ user and adding an extra layer of trust and reliability when engaging with their profile.
Quantum-Resistant Encrypted Chats
Premium users also gain access to quantum-resistant encryption on their Online+ chats — protection designed to remain secure even as computational power advances. It ensures conversations stay private now and far into the future.
Together, these features create a more refined, privacy-forward experience without adding complexity.
How Premium Accounts Connect to the ION Economy
Premium Accounts run on the same economic engine as ads, boosts, swaps, and tokenized communities.
Every upgrade triggers Online+’s universal 50/50 split:
- 50% goes to creators and the ecosystem rewards pool, supporting the users who keep the platform active.
- 50% is used to buy back and burn ION, permanently reducing supply.
Premium also ties into Online+’s referral model: when someone you’ve invited upgrades their account, you automatically earn 10% of that upgrade’s reward flow. This 10% comes from the Ecosystem Rewards Pool, ensuring that connectors benefit without reducing the creator’s 50% share.
So even though Premium is a personal upgrade, it plays a systemic role. As more users opt in, they collectively create stronger, more consistent deflationary pressure for ION — aligning user benefits with network-wide sustainability.
Fueling the Deflationary Engine
Traditional platforms charge for “premium” features and keep all the value.
Online+ does the opposite: revenue generated from Premium Accounts is returned to the ecosystem itself.
Every Premium subscription:
- supports creator rewards
- contributes to ION buyback-and-burn
- lowers circulating ION supply
- strengthens the ecosystem over time
Premium isn’t isolated — it becomes part of the platform’s long-term economic rhythm.
Using Premium Accounts in Online+
Premium Accounts are simple to activate and effortless to use.
After upgrading:
- Ads automatically disappear from your feed
- Your profile displays the hexagon badge indicating a Premium Account
- Your chats switch to quantum-resistant encrypted mode
There are no new interfaces to learn — just an ad-free, even more secure version of the Online+ experience you already enjoy.
Zakaj je to pomembno
Across the modern Internet, users often face a trade-off between convenience and privacy, while creators rarely benefit from premium revenue.
Premium Accounts on Online+ break that pattern. They enhance the user experience, support the creator economy, and reinforce ION’s deflationary model, all at once.
Users gain stronger privacy and an ad-free environment, creators earn more, and the network becomes more resilient the more people choose to upgrade.
Premium isn’t just a nice-to-have feature, but a step toward a user-aligned Internet.
