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.
🌐 Pregled
This past week was defined by focused refinement and major forward momentum. With the latest public release running smoothly, the team balanced tightening the current experience with advancing the bigger features that will shape the next phase of Online+.
On the refinement side, targeted improvements landed across Wallet, Chat, Feed, and Profile. UI adjustments, clearer network states, performance boosts, smoother media handling, and more responsive lists and post flows all contributed to a more polished feel. Dozens of fixes resolved lingering issues — from slow message loading and video upload failures to follower list inconsistencies and notification delays — building toward a more fluid experience across devices.
All of this work leads into the pre-monetization release dropping this week: a lighter update focused on polish, translations, Android soft-updates, Recent Topics, and a wide set of refinements ahead of the bigger rollout to come.
Meanwhile, development accelerated on the major features that will define the upcoming monetization release, including Ads, Boosts, Swaps & Bridging, Tokenized Communities, and Encrypted Groups. Alongside them, Delegate Access and Account Switching moved into full development, laying the groundwork for smoother workflows and shared account management. These large updates are progressing in parallel so the next major version of the app arrives as a cohesive, powerful upgrade rather than a collection of standalone features.
Across the ecosystem, growth continued at the same pace. Online+ crossed 1 million on-chain addresses — just a month and a half after launch — and we marked the milestone with the first post-launch community giveaway. The Monetization Deep-Dive Series also kicked off, preparing users and creators for what’s coming as Online+ evolves into an earn-enabled, creator-driven social layer.
With a stable foundation and a clear release pipeline ahead, Online+ is entering its next stage: a faster development rhythm, bigger features, and the systems that will turn participation into real value for a rapidly growing community.

💬 Julijino mnenje
This past week we’ve been deep into a new big release that’ll finally bring the first wave of monetization features into Online+ — ads, boosts, and the mechanics behind creator rewards, along with swaps and bridging.
On top of that, we’ve begun building two major additions many of you have been asking for: Delegate Access and Account Switching. Both will open the door to smoother workflows, shared account management, and more flexible ways to use Online+ every day. And on top of that, we’ve been refining the current version of the app and squashing the latest round of bugs, the result of which you’ll see in the next, pre-monetization release.
It’s a pretty dynamic stage we’re in. Everyone on the team is fully plugged in — we’re moving from community suggestions to development to shipping at full speed — and you can feel how quickly things are coming together. Every day something gets completed, polished, or pushed a step closer to release. It’s the kind of rhythm that makes the whole process genuinely fun — so fun, in fact, that we barely had time to crack that champagne open when we hit a million on-chain addresses last week!
All in all, there’s a lot happening at once, and it’s all building toward the next major version of the app. The foundation is solid, and that gives us the freedom and confidence to go full-throttle on these bigger features. It feels like everything is leveling up at the same time and I cannot wait for the next releases to hit app stores.
📢 Extra, Extra, Preberite vse o tem!
Even beyond development, it was a busy and meaningful week for the Online+ community.
- We crossed a major milestone: over 1M on-chain addresses in just a month and a half after launch!
- To celebrate, we ran our first Online+ Community Giveaway since launch — a small thank-you to the people who show up, participate, and keep the energy strong. Congrats to our winners, who split $500 in $ION, dropped directly in their Online+ wallets!
- With monetization features around the corner, we also kicked off our Monetization Deep-dive Series. The first three articles — Ads, Boosts, and Swaps & Bridges — dropped over the weekend, and three more are coming your way this Friday. Read up and get ready for the next Online+ release!
The ecosystem is growing in users, utility, and community energy — and every week, the picture gets a little bigger.

🔮 Teden pred nami
This week is all about keeping the momentum going on multiple fronts. While the big monetization release continues to take shape — with Tokenized Communities as a major focus — we’re also pushing hard on the other features we kicked off last week: Delegate Access and Account Switching. These are large, foundational updates, and they’re moving forward in parallel so the next phase of Online+ arrives as one cohesive upgrade.
At the same time, we’ll be squashing any remaining bugs from the previous release that the community flags, as we prepare a smaller, pre-monetization update dropping this week — a “smoother than the last one” version focused on polish and fixes. This release includes translations in 10 new languages, the Android soft-update mechanism (so users can update directly in the app), Recent Topics in the Feed, and a long list of refinements across Wallet, Feed, Chat, and Profile. It’s the kind of update that quietly makes everything feel cleaner and more reliable.
It’s a busy week ahead, but the energizing kind. The foundation is strong, and we’re making it even stronger so it can seamlessly carry the bigger features underway. And once this version is out, the next set of improvements is already lined up for the following release cycle.
And, PS for The Ghost With The Most — we’re getting started on that Artist category you requested too!
