[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Wan Chai, Hong Kong, January 29th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ice Open Network (ION)<\/a>, a high-performance, privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain, today announced its official mainnet launch after reaching a 200 validator headcount. This milestone comes after a comprehensive development and testing phase, alongside ecosystem growth that has led to ION building a community of 40 million users. It also lays the foundation for ION\u2019s upcoming social media platform and decentralized application (dApp) builder.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a testament to the strength and conviction of our community,\u201d said Alexandru Iulian Florea, Founder and CEO of Ice Open Network. \u201cWe initially aimed for 100 validators at launch \u2013 to see that number double underscores the trust and enthusiasm surrounding ION. It\u2019s a resounding vote of confidence in our vision to redefine the Internet through decentralization.\u201d<\/p>\n

ION\u2019s unique architecture allows it to scale horizontally as its network participants increase, with the capacity to accommodate billions of users without compromising their privacy and security, nor the chain\u2019s ability to process millions of transactions per second. Combining efficiency with a human-first approach, the ION framework is designed to decentralize and secure the core elements of digital interaction \u2013 user identity, content storage and delivery, and social engagement. The result is a versatile dApp infrastructure designed to offer practical utility and support the transition of Internet users to blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

Following the mainnet launch is the arrival of Online+ \u2013 an integrated social media dApp showcasing the blockchain\u2019s capabilities that serves both as a hub for ION\u2019s community, and a blueprint for dApp developers wishing to build on ION\u2019s framework. Ice Open Network\u2019s flagship no-code, drag-and-drop dApp-building tool, which will allow anyone, regardless of technical expertise, to create decentralized applications on ION from scratch, is next in line and due for release in 2025.<\/p>\n

The ION blockchain mainnet rollout began in November 2024, and is accompanied by the deployment of the ION Bridge, which enables the migration of the network\u2019s native ICE token from Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to the ION blockchain. Currently, the network\u2019s 200 validators have staked over 15% of the 6.8 billion ICE in circulation \u2013 a percentage set to increase as Online+ goes live.<\/p>\n
