ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Online+, the integrated decentralized media platform developed by Ice Open Network (ION), today officially opens to the public following a successful soft launch with creators, partners, and early adopters. The platform introduces a user-first ecosystem built on the principles of privacy, individual autonomy, and digital sovereignty.

Designed for creators, communities, and everyday users, Online+ redefines what online platforms can be in the age of decentralization. With no intermediaries or opaque algorithms, it delivers an on-chain environment where individuals truly own their content, identity, and interactions — all through an experience as intuitive and familiar as today’s mainstream platforms.

“For too long, we’ve accepted platforms where we are the product and intermediaries set the rules,” said Alexandru Iulian Florea, Founder and CEO of Ice Open Network. “With Online+, we are launching something fundamentally different: a platform where you own your social life, where creativity is rewarded, and where the power sits with the community, not the corporation.”

Earlier this month, Online+ completed its soft launch phase, successfully onboarding over 3,000 creators — with a combined audience of more than a billion — alongside 15,000 waitlisted community members, and 150+ partner projects across DeFi, GameFi, AI, and SocialFi. Together with a robust group of beta testers, these early adopters played a critical role in testing platform features, establishing social hubs, and helping shape the Online+ ecosystem ahead of today’s global release.

At its core, Online+ offers a robust set of features combining breakthrough innovation with the familiarity of Web2 platforms:

• On-chain profiles with built-in decentralized identity and wallet functionality
• Integrated wallet enabling users to seamlessly and securely send and receive crypto directly in-app
• End-to-end encrypted messaging for private, secure communication
• Tokenized posts, tips, and creator rewards, expanding monetization options, and set to go live in Q4 2025
• Integrated dApp discovery and community-owned hubs, offering new ways to explore Web3 projects and connect creators with audiences, rolling out progressively after launch
• Intermediary- and censorship-free environment, where users shape the rules of engagement

“Online+ isn’t just another dApp or another chain,” Florea added. “It’s a vision of how the Internet should work: sovereign, seamless, and centered on the people who use it.”

Built on the modular, high-performance ION Framework, Online+ can scale horizontally across billions of users, processing millions of transactions per second without compromising privacy or speed. As ION’s flagship decentralized application, it not only showcases the network’s capabilities — it embodies ION’s broader mission: to bring the Internet’s 5.5 billion users on-chain through human-centric dApps that work effortlessly for everyone.

Luckyins Technology (HongKong) Co., Limited is a tech enterprise focused on optimizing insurance business processes through AI technology, offering modular solutions that cover insurance sales, operations, finance, and after-sales management. Concurrently, the company also serves as a technical service provider utilizing blockchain technology to deliver digital payment solutions for the insurance industry. MOG Digitech Holdings Limited is a company listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and an innovative solution provider for the insurance industry based on digital technology applications, possessing leading capabilities particularly in empowering the insurance sector with digital currency.

This strategic investment not only reflects market recognition of Luckyins Technology (HongKong)’s technical capabilities but also demonstrates MOG Digitech’s forward-looking vision and resource integration prowess in building an insurtech ecosystem. Notably, MOG Digitech has been particularly active recently: in July, it led and co-invested with BAI Capital and GSR Ventures in “KUN,” Asia’s leading trusted stablecoin payment platform; in August, it successfully executed Asia’s first stablecoin insurance commission payment. Besides, it acquired WLFI fund interests that month, completing a strategic investment in NASDAQ-listed ALT5 Sigma Corporation; in September, it entered into a comprehensive strategic collaboration with King Sun Life Insurance under King Sun Group to jointly develop digital and intelligent insurance business globally. This series of initiatives underscores MOG Digitech’s active construction of a new insurtech ecosystem centered on artificial intelligence, digital technology, and digital currency.

The insurance industry has long faced systemic challenges such as cumbersome processes, opaque services, and low settlement efficiency. MOG Digitech’s investment in Luckyins Technology (HongKong) signifies a joint commitment to reconstructing the entire insurance service process through AI systems and leveraging blockchain technology to address industry pain points, thereby enhancing operational and settlement efficiency, as well as user experience. MOG Digitech stated: “We are optimistic about Luckyins Technology (HongKong)’s ability to deeply integrate insurance industry experience with innovative technologies and its capability to accelerate the interconnection of core business systems between Hong Kong insurers and brokerage firms. It further empowers the insurance industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency in transaction, payment, reconciliation, and settlement processes. This investment aligns highly with our strategy to steer insurance services towards greater efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity. MOG Digitech will continue to leverage its strengths in the digital technology domain to assist partners in achieving business upgrades and jointly shape the new insurtech landscape.”

It is reported that the funds raised in this financing round will be primarily used in two key directions: first, to advance the construction of the Luckyins Technology’s global digital platform, utilizing AI and blockchain technology to expand insurance services in the Web3 era; second, for market expansion, deepening presence in the Hong Kong market while gradually laying out plans for Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

With the strategic support of MOG Digitech, Luckyins Technology (HongKong) is expected to accelerate its technology implementation and market expansion. Simultaneously, MOG Digitech, through this investment, further extends its influence within the insurtech field, consolidating its leading position in empowering the insurance industry through digital technology.
