🔥 After more than 1.5 years of relentless building, we're entering the final phase.

The launch of Online+ is closer than ever — and with it comes one of the most important milestones in our evolution:

🎉 We're officially migrating from $ICE to $ION ticker.

As part of this transition:

✅ The ION Bridge is now reactivated
✅ When bridging back from Ice Open Network to BSC, you'll receive $ION
✅ The new $ION token will begin replacing $ICE across the exchanges

⚠️ Bridging from ION back to BSC is temporarily disabled and will be re-enabled once the migration is fully complete.

This isn't just a token change — it's the beginning of a new era. A stronger identity. A cleaner structure. A network ready to scale globally.

The mainnet is here. The momentum is real. $ION is the future.

🤝 We’re excited to welcome @zorotechnology, the ZK Machine Learning Network powering AI Robotics, to the Online+ social ecosystem!

By combining machine learning, zero-knowledge proofs, and blockchain, Zoro is reshaping how AI models are trained—securely, transparently, and at scale. Through gamified task flows and on-chain validation, it brings a new level of decentralization to AI development.

🌟 Now joining Online+, Zoro connects with a broader Web3-native audience—amplifying its mission and community through the social layer of ION.

🤝 We’re pleased to welcome @soonchain_ai to Online+ and the Ice Open Network ecosystem!

SoonChain is an AI-powered gaming Layer 2, focused on redefining game development through AIGG technology. By lowering the barriers to entry for developers and creators, SoonChain is on a mission to make Web3 game development more accessible, inclusive, and scalable for everyone.

By joining the Online+ social ecosystem and building their own dApp using the ION Framework, SoonChain will connect with a broader audience of gamers, builders, and communities — unlocking new possibilities at the intersection of AI and Web3.

🎮 The future of game creation is here — and it’s powered by AI and on-chain.

$ION is coming home.

As part of the migration process, this week we will withdraw the liquidity from all DEXes on BSC, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana. All liquidity will be consolidated and moved to OKX.

This marks a major step in unifying the ecosystem under one roof — the ION Chain.

If you’re holding on Ethereum, Arbitrum, or Solana and need to prepare for migration:
→ Use https://portalbridge.com to move your tokens to BSC
→ Then use https://bridge.ice.io to migrate from BSC to ION

The future is on-chain. The future is $ION.

✅ Approved by Apple & Google Play

We’re excited to share that Online+ has officially passed review and is now approved by both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This is a major milestone—and a strong signal that launch is getting close.

But we know what you’re thinking: “If it’s approved, why not launch right away?” Let’s talk about that.

🚧 Why We’re Still Holding the Launch

We’ve heard the feedback from parts of the community—some say “just launch it and fix things later.”

But here’s the truth: we’re not just launching another app. We’re launching a decentralized social network, backed by millions of users and 1,000+ verified creators already onboarded.

This isn’t just about releasing an MVP—it’s about creating a polished, scalable product that can handle day-one momentum without breaking.

Social media launches don’t usually start like this. But we have a unique opportunity—an engaged community, a powerful ecosystem, and a product that has to meet the expectations of both Web3 pioneers and mainstream users.

🛠️ The Realities of Building Something This Ambitious

We originally estimated a June launch, but as often happens in development, some things took longer than expected. Specifically, the consensus mechanism—the core of our decentralized social infrastructure—turned out to be more challenging and time-consuming than anticipated. It’s one of the most critical parts of the system, and we refuse to compromise on it.

Meanwhile, we’ve continued to ship. Our GitHub is fully public. You can verify daily commits—late nights, weekends, and ongoing progress. In June, we even expanded our Flutter team to increase speed and support the next wave of features.

As for the $ION exchange integration — we’re targeting the end of August for full deployment. This process takes time because it’s not just about listing; it’s about coordinating the migration across multiple exchanges simultaneously to ensure consistency, liquidity alignment, and a smooth transition for all users. We’re in active discussions and working closely with each platform to make this happen properly.

🧠 We’re Building for the Long Term

This isn’t about launching just to say we launched. It’s about creating something sustainable. Something real. Something that reflects the vision we all share—a network for the people, by the people, where creators and communities finally take ownership.

We’re close. And when we do launch, you’ll feel the difference.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in the mission, and being part of something bigger.
