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
Online+ is getting sharper by the day — and last week was one of our most productive yet.
We rolled out message editing in Chat (a major milestone that required a full refactor), introduced passkey autocomplete for smoother logins, and tightened up transaction handling, coin display, and UX across the Wallet. Feed spacing, hashtag autocomplete, and post visuals also got a round of polish, while dozens of bugs were knocked out across stories, media uploads, voice messages, and balance displays.
On the backend, we’ve been quietly reinforcing the infrastructure to support what’s coming — and this week, that’s where our focus remains. We’re wrapping the last core features, testing hard, and stitching everything together for the final push.

💬 Yuliia’s Take
Last week was a big one — not just in intensity, but in output. We closed more features and bug fixes than in any previous sprint, and you can feel the app tightening up with every commit.
The biggest milestone? We shipped message editing in Chat — a feature that took a full refactor and deep regression testing to pull off. It was a huge effort across the team, but it’s already made a difference.
We also kept up the pace in Wallet — fixing lingering issues, polishing flows, and wrapping the final core features we need before launch. And yes, we’ve been deep in infrastructure too, making sure the backend holds up to everything we’re building on top of it.
📢 Extra, Extra, Read All About It!
Three more projects plugged into the Online+ ecosystem last week, and they’re bringing fresh energy:
- Versus, a skill-based PvP gaming platform, is joining Online+ to connect competitive gamers through a decentralized social layer. With a dedicated dApp built on the ION Framework, Versus will bring Web3 wagering and AAA titles into the social spotlight.
- FoxWallet, a secure and user-friendly multi-chain wallet, is tapping into Online+ to expand community engagement. FoxWallet will integrate with the social platform and launch its own community hub on the ION Framework to support cross-chain access, self-custody, and DeFi adoption.
- 3look, the SocialFi platform turning memes into on-chain, rewardable content, is bringing its viral content engine to Online+. By launching a dedicated dApp on the ION Framework, 3look will give creators and brands a new space to co-create, campaign, and earn, all built around the culture and economics of memes.
🎙️ And in case you missed it: our founder & CEO, Alexandru Iulian Florea (aka Zeus), joined BSCN for a deep-dive X Spaces where he unpacked ION’s vision, roots, community, and challenges. BSCN called it one of their most exciting interviews of the year — worth a listen.
Each partner and appearance is adding serious firepower to the ecosystem. Online+ isn’t just growing — it’s gaining serious momentum. 🔥
🔮 The Week Ahead
This week, we’re zeroing in on infrastructure — tightening the backend to make sure everything runs smoothly and reliably at scale.
Alongside that, we’ll continue stabilizing the final build by closing out the last few core features and pushing through QA rounds to ensure the app behaves as expected across all modules.
