Ice Open Network (ION) continues to actively expand its ecosystem through strategic partnerships and platform developments. Special attention is given to integrations with Unizen and Metahorse Unity, as well as a significant listing of its native token, $ICE, on the Coins.ph exchange.
Strategic Partnerships
On March 27, 2025, Ice Open Network announced a partnership with Unizen, a next-generation Decentralized Exchange (DEX) aggregator, to integrate trading solutions into the Online+ ecosystem. Unizen enables seamless trading across 16 blockchain networks and over 200 liquidity sources, offering low fees for retail users, wallets, exchanges, and Traditional Finance participants. This collaboration allows Online+ users to access advanced Decentralized Finance (DeFi) tools directly within the app, strengthening ION's position in the DeFI space. On March 31, 2025, ION also revealed a new collaboration with Metahorse Unity, a horse gaming ecosystem. The platform, combining role-playing games, racing, and trading, promises to expand innovation on the Online+ ecosystem.
Online+ Platform Development: Nearing Launch
The Online+ platform, ION’s flagship product, is nearing its launch. The team has shifted its focus to the final phase of developing key features, including Wallet, Chat, and Profile functionalities. In its Weekly Bulletin, ION shared that the platform is approaching launch readiness and invited community feedback to refine the product. Alongside developing its key features, the team addressed several bugs, improving the system's overall performance. These enhancements aim to ensure a stable release for users.
$ICE Listing on Coins.ph
ION disclosed that $ICE will list on Coins.ph, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the Philippines, serving over 16 million users. Trading is set to begin on April 3, 2025, at 2 PM SGT, marking a significant milestone for $ICE’s liquidity and accessibility. This listing aligns with ION’s mission to make decentralized technology available to a broader audience, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
The partnerships with Unizen and Metahorse Unity position Ice Open Network as a versatile player in the blockchain space, while the Coins.ph listing broadens the user base in the Asia-Pacific region. Progress on Online+ promises a comprehensive platform that could redefine how social and financial interactions occur within the Web3 space.
