Across the series so far, we’ve unpacked the core features of Online+ that will be available at launch: on-chain profiles, token-integrated feeds, encrypted messaging, and wallet-connected social experiences. We’ve shown how Online+ puts users in control — from how they discover content to how they connect in private — setting the foundation for a more open, user-driven Internet.
This week, we look ahead at what’s coming post-launch: tools that expand how you connect, create, and earn inside a decentralized social ecosystem.
Because Online+ isn’t just a static product — it’s a platform that will evolve constantly, delivering the infrastructure, incentives, and tools needed for a new kind of Internet: one that’s user-owned, creator-first, and decentralized by design.
Tipping That Makes Sense
Monetization on legacy social platforms is either indirect (ad impressions) or gated by arbitrary thresholds (follower counts, brand deals). Online+ will soon introduce direct tipping flows, allowing anyone to earn from anyone, instantly and transparently.
Here’s how it will work:
- Viewers send tokens directly to creators from content or chat
- 80% of every tip goes to the creator, 20% supports the ecosystem
- The experience is native — no third-party plugins, no redirection
It’s frictionless support, embedded into the social layer itself.
Boosting That Builds Reach
Also coming soon: boosts — a token-based tool that let users amplify content they care about.
Boosting means:
- Creators or fans can pay to elevate posts in relevant feeds
- Content earns reach organically and through direct support
- The token used to boost contributes to the platform economy and community rewards
Unlike pay-to-play models that reward only the biggest spenders, boosting in Online+ is transparent, merit-based, and aligned with value creation.
Creator Coins and Subscriber Support
Two other earning mechanisms coming to Online+ will further reinforce the platform’s creator-first model:
- Creator Coins: minted automatically with a creator’s first post, allowing fans to invest in their growth. Each time a coin is purchased, 50% of the fee is burned and 50% goes to the creator.
- Recurring Subscriptions: fans can provide ongoing support in return for content, access, or just appreciation, with no middlemen involved.
It’s not about speculation. It’s about supporting the people, projects, and perspectives you care about — in a way that aligns incentives between creators and their communities.
Digital Infrastructure for the Long Haul
All of these features — from tipping to token-gating to communities — are powered by the ION Framework, which allows individuals and creators to build their own decentralized social apps on the same stack as Online+.
What you see in Online+ is just the beginning. The infrastructure behind it is:
- Modular and open-source
- Designed for billions of users
- Structured around user-owned identity, content, and value
In short: what we’re building isn’t just a better social app — it’s the foundation for a better Internet. And while Online+ is a powerful platform in its own right, it’s also a live showcase of what anyone can build using the ION Framework.
