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.
🌐 Overview
This past week marked a clear shift into convergence mode for Tokenized Communities. With the core development now in place, the focus moved decisively toward polish, integration, and consistency across the app. Updates and fixes landed across Wallet, Feed, Profile, Auth, and Security, tightening how creator and content tokens are surfaced, how swaps and charts behave, and how users move through token-related flows end to end.
Much of the work was about alignment. A new Wallet UI for creator and content tokens, improved onboarding signals in the Feed, and refinements to token metadata and visuals were paired with a broad set of fixes addressing edge cases, cross-device behavior, and state inconsistencies. Together, these changes reinforce cohesion across modules, ensuring that what happens in one part of the app is reflected clearly and reliably everywhere else.
As we move into the final stretch, attention shifts firmly to refinement. The hardest engineering challenges are behind us; what’s left is pressure-testing, smoothing edges, and validating the full Tokenized Communities lifecycle under real-world conditions.
Alongside this work, we’re preparing the next production release, as well as the Tokenized Communities beta, which is now just a few days away. Overall — busy days ahead.

💬 Yuliia’s Take
Oooof, we’re over the hardest part now! The core Tokenized Communities development is done, and we’re moving into polish.
If you’ve ever run a marathon or done a multi-day hike, you probably know that feeling — when you’ve made it past the toughest part of the course and all that’s left is the last stretch. It still takes grit and focus, but there’s also something elated and almost meditative about it. You’re tired, but you know the path, and every step is about keeping the pace and getting the details right. That’s the feeling at ION right now, and it’s a really good one.
Tokenized Communities touches almost every part of the app, so this phase is about making sure everything is properly connected and working smoothly — across Wallet, Feed, Profile, devices, and accounts. The scope is big, but the hardest engineering challenges are behind us. What’s left is refinement: tightening flows, smoothing edges, and making sure the experience feels cohesive end to end.
It’s demanding work, but when you can smell the finish line, that’s no bother at all. Like I said: a good place to be.
🧪 Extra, Extra — Tell Us All About It!
At this stage, “polish” isn’t about surface-level tweaks — it’s about pressure-testing everything that’s already been built. Edge cases, cross-module behavior, different account states, device quirks — all the places where quality is either earned or lost. This is the phase where the experience is locked in, and as always, we’ll be relying on the community to flag those moments — ultimately, you’re the people that Online+ is for.
Beta is close. When it opens in a few days, we’ll be asking you, our trusted beta testers, to really put the app through its paces — using it as they normally would, then pushing it further and harder. So get ready to run full flows, try unusual paths, and flag anything that feels confusing or fragile. This is where great products are made.
🔮 The Week Ahead
The focus this week is on fixing and validating Tokenized Communities across the board. As issues surface, the team — which is now fully back online after their holiday break — will be addressing them quickly, with continued polish across backend, blockchain, and frontend to ensure everything works together smoothly and consistently.
In parallel, work continues on finalizing the 1.0.23 release, bringing fixes and refinements together as part of the broader stabilization effort. With the core work now behind us, this phase is about confidence — tightening the last details and validating full flows end to end.
We’re also very close to the next step: the Tokenized Communities beta is days away. The priority now is making sure everything is ready to be put in users’ hands.
In a nutshell, that last stretch may be short, but it’s packed with detail — and that’s where the quality is decided.
