ION Launches Online+, a Decentralized Social Media Platform, Globally

Ice Open Network

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Oct. 06, 2025 — Ice Open Network (ION)’s integrated decentralized media platform, Online+, has officially launched to the public after a successful trial period with creators, partners, and early users. The platform offers a user-focused environment that prioritizes privacy, individual control, and digital independence.

Online+ is designed for creators, communities, and everyday users and aims to revolutionize online platforms in the era of decentralization. Without intermediaries or complex algorithms, it provides an on-chain space where users have true ownership of their content, identity, and interactions, all within a user experience as simple as today’s popular platforms.

“We’ve grown accustomed to platforms where we are the product, and intermediaries dictate the rules,” said Alexandru Iulian Florea, Founder and CEO of Ice Open Network. “With Online+, we are introducing a fundamentally different concept: a platform where you control your social experience, creativity is rewarded, and the community, not a corporation, holds the power.”

Earlier this month, Online+ concluded its beta phase, successfully integrating over 3,000 creators with a combined audience of over a billion, along with 15,000 community members from the waitlist and more than 150 partner projects in DeFi, GameFi, AI, and SocialFi. These early adopters, along with a strong group of beta testers, were crucial in testing features, building social hubs, and shaping the Online+ ecosystem before its global release today.

Online+ offers a comprehensive set of features that combine cutting-edge innovation with the familiarity of Web2 platforms:

  • On-chain profiles with integrated decentralized identity and wallet capabilities
  • Built-in wallet that allows users to easily and securely send and receive crypto within the app
  • End-to-end encrypted messaging for secure, private communication
  • Tokenized posts, tips, and creator rewards, expanding monetization opportunities, planned for release in Q4 2025
  • Integrated dApp discovery and community-owned hubs, offering new ways to explore Web3 projects and connect creators and audiences, rolling out gradually after launch
  • A platform free from intermediaries and censorship, where users determine the rules of engagement

“Online+ is more than just another dApp or blockchain,” Florea added. “It’s a vision for how the Internet should function: independent, seamless, and focused on its users.”

Built on the modular and efficient ION Framework, Online+ can scale to accommodate billions of users, processing millions of transactions per second while maintaining privacy and speed. As ION’s primary decentralized application, it not only demonstrates the network’s potential but also embodies ION’s broader goal: to bring the Internet’s 5.5 billion users into the on-chain world through user-friendly dApps that are accessible to everyone.
