Online+, a new decentralized media platform from Ice Open Network (ION), has officially launched to the public after a successful soft launch with creators and early users. The platform focuses on privacy, individual autonomy, and digital ownership. It is designed for creators, communities, and everyday users, offering a user-friendly experience similar to current popular platforms, but without intermediaries and hidden algorithms. During its soft launch, Online+ attracted over 3,000 creators with a total audience exceeding one billion, in addition to 15,000 waitlisted members and over 150 partner projects across various sectors.

Online+ provides several innovative features, including on-chain profiles with decentralized identity and wallet functions, a secure in-app wallet for sending and receiving cryptocurrency, private encrypted messaging, and monetization options through tokenized posts and rewards, which will launch in Q4 2025. The platform will also feature community-driven hubs and tools to help users explore Web3 projects. It operates without intermediaries or censorship, allowing users to shape their own engagement rules.

Using the scalable ION Framework, Online+ can accommodate billions of users and process millions of transactions per second while maintaining privacy and speed. As a key application of ION, Online+ aims to fulfill the mission of bringing the Internet’s 5.5 billion users onto decentralized platforms that prioritize user experience and data ownership. The platform represents a move towards a new Internet that emphasizes privacy and user control. For more information, visit online.io.
