ION News Roundup: Tokenized Communities Beta Opens This Week as Online+ Lands More Updates

This week’s Online+ Bulletin documents a key transition point for the platform as Tokenized Communities moves from “internal convergence into final readiness.” The latest updates reflect a tightening phase typical of final product development, where reliability, consistency, and edge case handling take priority.

The work is led by ION and, as always, centers on Online+, the platform’s decentralized social application. According to Product Lead Yuliia, the focus has now shifted from internal testing to preparing the system for real-world usage at scale.

The Tokenized Communities beta is opening this week. That milestone underscores the importance of wallet behavior, token interactions, feed integrity, and profile consistency. These systems must perform predictably across devices, accounts, and network conditions before broader exposure.

What is the Current Development Phase?

The past week builds on the last Bulletin update, marking the point at which Tokenized Communities entered what the team describes as final readiness. Core functionality across creator tokens and content tokens is now considered stable. Most changes focused on improving resilience, clarifying user interface behavior, and closing gaps that typically appear only when features are exercised repeatedly.

Rather than expanding scope, development centered on reinforcing existing flows. Wallet interactions, token charts, comments, and sharing mechanics were refined to ensure that incoming beta feedback can be evaluated without ambiguity caused by known defects.

In parallel, a new application version was submitted to app stores. This release delivers broader stability improvements across Online+, reinforcing the platform ahead of the beta rollout.

Feature Updates Delivered

The following feature updates were implemented to support Tokenized Communities and improve overall reliability. Each update addresses a specific usage scenario that emerged during internal testing.

Wallet

Transaction history support for cross-chain ION swaps was added. This improves transparency for users moving assets across supported networks and allows clearer tracking of completed swaps.

Token page

NSFW settings were enabled for comments on token pages. This gives token creators and community participants more control over discussion visibility while maintaining consistent moderation across the platform.

Profile

Name and nickname handling were updated for Tokenized Communities profiles. The change ensures consistent identity display across wallet views, feeds, and token pages.

General connectivity

Internet connection checks were improved with automatic failover to proxy domains. This reduces disruptions when primary endpoints are unavailable.

Media delivery

Fallback support for proxy relay domains was enabled for media loading. This improves reliability when fetching images and videos under varying network conditions.

Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements

A large portion of this release addressed defects discovered during convergence testing. These fixes target areas where inconsistent behavior could undermine user trust during beta usage.

Authentication and Profiles

• Fixed an issue where user profile avatars were not saving after registration.
• Restored the circular border around avatars in the profile header to maintain visual consistency.
• Removed extra spacing in the Holdings token list.
• Fixed empty holdings appearing in full-screen profile views.
• Extended the separator to cover the full width between Holdings lists and cards.

These changes improve profile reliability and prevent display errors that could confuse new users.

Wallet Functionality

• Centered icon placement in the Asset field for clearer alignment.
• Corrected UI issues affecting content tokens in the Wallet view.
• Fixed incorrect Swap modals opening when swaps were initiated from Tokenized Communities tokens.
• Restored visibility of a user’s own creator token after purchase.
• Improved swap behavior when using multiple wallets on the same network.
• Addressed duplicated transaction entries that appeared under certain conditions.

Together, these fixes reduce friction in asset management and improve confidence in wallet balances and actions.

Feed Behavior

• Corrected shared post tiles that incorrectly displayed a rocket icon instead of market cap data.
• Fixed UI issues related to Creator token is live states.
• Resolved layout problems in the Creator monetization is live dialog.
• Properly marked buy events with no position for accurate HODL tracking.
• Fixed truncated text in token share notifications.
• Resolved cases where content tokens were not created or shareable after a failed first purchase.
• Fixed attached media displaying as URLs instead of images or videos on recent builds.

These updates reinforce the feed as a reliable record of token activity and social interactions.

Token Page Corrections

• Corrected chart headers to display the correct token ticker.
• Fixed chart freezes that occurred after switching timeframes multiple times.
• Resolved UI issues at the top of token pages for carousel posts.
• Added missing dollar prefixes to content token tickers in chart views.
• Fixed incorrect swap notifications when swapping X tokens.
• Updated Buy and Sell actions to display the token ticker instead of post titles.
• Fixed Share your trade as post actions that were not publishing correctly.
• Removed raw URLs appearing in token detail views.

These changes ensure that token data is displayed accurately and consistently, which is critical during beta testing.

Yuliia on Reaching Stability

Yuliia described the past week as a turning point for the project, “We crossed the next big line: the core functionality of Tokenized Communities is stable. We’ve now truly reached level ground and have rock-solid foundations to keep building on.”

That stability allows testing to move beyond controlled scenarios.

“We’re no longer just polishing in isolation, but are ready to widen the surface and see how everything holds up across many different accounts, devices, and real-world usage patterns.”

According to Yuliia, this is the moment when internal assumptions meet actual user behavior. Further, the application also continues to receive attention.

“We continued tightening and stabilizing the broader app experience, with the latest update submitted today. It’s part of laying the groundwork for what comes next, and making sure everything is solid before Tokenized Communities go live.”

Yuliia closed with a light acknowledgment of the milestone.

“To recap the state of things: the champagne’s already chilling and ready to be cracked open on launch day.”

What to Expect in the Latest Release?

The most recent app update represents a final round of polish before the Tokenized Communities launch. A central focus is improved swap functionality, including support for ION BSC to ION ION swaps. These changes improve predictability and clarity during asset exchanges.

Additional improvements were applied across Wallet, Chat, Feed, and Profile. Users will see cleaner wallet displays when operating multiple wallets on the same network, fixes for duplicated transactions, and long-standing improvements to direct messages, profile mentions, and security prompts.

This release is intentionally conservative in scope. Its purpose is refinement rather than expansion, ensuring that everyday interactions feel consistent and dependable.

Looking Ahead

The coming week centers on the Tokenized Communities beta. Testing will validate complete user flows from token creation to trading, sharing, and wallet reconciliation. Edge cases will be stress tested, and tester feedback will guide rapid fixes where necessary.

In parallel, the team will monitor the latest app release and address any issues that surface. Only minor defects are expected at this stage, but the objective remains to deliver a stable, predictable experience before the wider rollout.

Conclusion

This week’s updates reflect a platform moving deliberately toward launch readiness. Tokenized Communities has reached functional stability, supported by targeted feature additions and extensive bug fixes across Wallet, Feed, Profile, and Token pages. The emphasis on resilience, accuracy, and consistency signals a mature development phase focused on real user conditions rather than internal assumptions.

As beta testing begins, the groundwork laid in this release provides a clear baseline for evaluating performance, usability, and reliability. With core systems stabilized and broader app improvements in place, Online+ enters its next phase with a well-defined technical foundation.
