Welcome to this week’s Online+ Beta Bulletin — your go-to source for the latest feature updates, bug fixes, and behind-the-scenes tweaks to ION’s flagship social media dApp, brought to you by ION’s Product Lead, Yuliia.
As we edge closer to launching Online+, your feedback is helping us shape the platform in real time — so keep it coming! Here’s a quick rundown of what we tackled last week and what’s next on our radar.
🌐 Overview
Before we get into the nitty-gritty — WE’VE BEEN APPROVED BY BOTH THE APP STORE AND GOOGLE PLAY!
That’s right — Online+ has officially passed review on both major platforms, marking a huge milestone on our road to global launch. With that double green light, we’ve entered the final phase: regression testing, polish, and locking in stability across the board.
🔥 The new online is on-chain — and it’s coming in hot.
We wasted no time celebrating, though. We kicked off full Wallet regression, delivered a major refactor in Chat, and started pushing fixes across modules at full speed. Feed performance and UI also got another round of tuning to ensure everything runs smoothly and intuitively.
This week, we’re doubling down — continuing Wallet and Chat regression while wrapping up the last remaining features. It’s all about finishing strong and making sure Online+ launches with the quality it deserves.

💬 Yuliia’s Take
Last week brought one of the biggest moments we’ve had so far — and honestly, I can’t stop smiling every time I say this: Online+ was officially approved by both the App Store and Google Play! After everything we’ve built and rebuilt, that green light feels really, really good ✅
On the dev side, we kicked off full regression testing for the Wallet and immediately got to work on fixes to make sure every flow is smooth and stable. We also finished a major Chat refactor — the kind that takes serious under-the-hood work — and it’s already paying off. Soon, users will be able to edit messages, something we’ve wanted to deliver for a while.
The backend team was just as busy, closing out some of the last major pull requests needed to complete the remaining features. It finally feels like the pieces are all coming together — and we’re almost there.
📢 Extra, Extra, Read All About It!
Last week, three more Web3 pioneers joined the Online+ ecosystem:
- Mises, the world’s first fast, secure, and extension-supported Web3 mobile browser, is now part of Online+. As part of the collaboration, Online+ will be featured in the Mises Browser, bringing seamless access to decentralized social directly to a global audience.
- Graphlinq, known for its ultra-affordable Layer 1 and powerful AI-powered automation tools, is joining the Online+ ecosystem to help more users create bots, dApps, tokens, and AI agents — all without code. Their social presence on Online+ will open new doors for builders, creators, and data-driven innovators.
- Ellipal, the trusted name in secure cold wallets, is coming aboard to support self-custody awareness and expand secure Web3 access for users inside Online+.
Each new partner adds serious value — more reach, more tools, and more momentum. Online+ isn’t just growing. It’s evolving into a true hub for all corners of Web3.
And in case you missed it, here’s another Online+ extra from last week: ION’s Founder and CEO, Alexandru Iulian Florea, and Chairman Mike Costache presented all our hard work at TOKEN2049 — check out their fireside chat here!
🔮 The Week Ahead
This week is all about deep testing and final validation. We’re running a full regression sweep of the Wallet — checking every network, every coin, and every flow to make sure it all holds up under pressure.
Chat is also getting a full round of testing following last week’s major refactor. It’s essential, detail-heavy work, but we know how much these finishing touches matter.
We’ve been moving fast, and now it’s about making sure every part of the app is ready to meet the moment. We can feel how close we are (I’ll say it again: “major-app-stores-approval” kinda close!) — and that’s keeping us locked in.
