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.

With the team taking some well-deserved time off for Christmas, the final week of 2025 may have been quieter in terms of shipping, but it was no less important in terms of direction. The ICE → ION migration was behind us, Swaps were live inside Online+, and the focus shifted toward stabilisation, polish, and making sure the foundations we’ve laid are solid as we move into the next phase.
Despite a short work week around the holidays, progress continued across key areas tied to Tokenized Communities. Updates touched Wallet and Profile flows, improving how creator tokens, trades, charts, and statistics are surfaced, while fixes focused on accuracy, consistency, and reliability across balances, transactions, and UI states. The work this past week was less about expanding surface area and more about tightening what’s already there — an important step as we prepare for what’s coming next.
Looking ahead, the direction into 2026 is clear. Tokenized Communities are right around the corner, marking the first major step in turning on monetization across Online+. The focus now is on making sure this next phase launches cleanly, with the right foundations in place to support what follows.
It’s a solid note to end 2025 on. Thank you to everyone in the community for building with us this year, and we wish you a happy, healthy New Year.

Looking back on 2025, what stands out most isn’t any single launch — it’s the pace we kept, week after week. This was a year of building without shortcuts: shipping core infrastructure, bringing Online+ to life, navigating the ICE → ION migration, and laying the groundwork for monetization. None of it was easy, and very little of it was glamorous, but the progress was huge, and it came from staying consistent when things were hard.
Even in a short holiday week, that mindset didn’t really change. We took a brief pause over Christmas to recharge, then got back to work with a clear focus. Tokenized Communities remains the highest priority, and as we head into the final stretch of the year, the direction feels solid. There’s pressure, of course, but also clarity and motivation, and that’s what matters most when building.
I’m genuinely proud of this team. 2025 asked a lot from everyone, and people showed up — again and again — with focus, resilience, and trust in each other. We’re closing the year tired, but aligned. And that’s a good place to be heading into what comes next.
🙏 An Extra Big ‘Thank You’
As we close out 2025, we want to take a moment to recognise the people behind the progress.
Thank you for being part of the Online+ journey — for testing, questioning, reporting bugs, sharing feedback, and building alongside us, and for all the trust, patience, and belief in our mission to reimagine the Internet for the better.
From the whole ION team — wishing you a happy, healthy New Year and a strong start to 2026!

The coming days are a mix of pause and care. We’ll be spending time with our families over the New Year, while continuing to monitor and fix issues across the Tokenized Communities flow to make sure everything is solid when we’re back at full speed.
We’ve also made a deliberate product call on timing. While the original plan was to ship everything before year-end, Tokenized Communities, PUMPit, and ION trading are designed to launch together and work as one system. Rushing that during a short holiday window would introduce unnecessary risk to a feature set with deep dependencies across the app — and that’s not a trade-off we’re willing to make.
Most of the team will be back in full force after January 15, and I’ll be back sooner — with the first bulletin of 2026 on January 5. Until then, thank you for the patience, trust, and support you’ve shown throughout the year. And to everyone celebrating, we wish you a warm, restful holiday season and a very happy New Year!
