Ice Open Network’s Startup Program, launched in January 2024, has rapidly grown into a thriving ecosystem with six projects and over 40 million users, setting a new standard for blockchain adoption even before its mainnet launch.
—
In less than a year, Ice Open Network (ION) has turned an ambitious idea into a thriving reality. Launched in January 2024, the ION Startup Program was created to empower innovative projects and connect them with the resources of a scalable blockchain ecosystem. The results have been unprecedented: six projects have already joined the ecosystem, bringing a combined audience of over 40 million users, an extraordinary feat for a blockchain still in its testnet phase.
The vision for the Startup Program was clear from the start—provide projects with the tools, technology, and support needed to succeed in a decentralized environment. The response was overwhelming, with countless applications received from startups and innovators worldwide. Following an extensive due diligence process, six standout projects became the foundation of this growing ecosystem, with more set to launch:
• Sunwaves, one of the leading electronic music festivals worldwide.
• CallFluent, a powerful AI-powered communication agent tool.
• Sauces, a meme coin fostering humor and community.
• SealSend, a privacy-focused encrypted email service.
• DoctorX, a unique meme project launching on MultiversX.
• Crypto Mayors, a project developed in partnership with Tokero, one of Europe’s leading regulated exchanges.
What unites these diverse projects is their ability to leverage Ice Open Network’s powerful Layer 1 blockchain to deliver innovative, decentralized solutions to their audiences. The combination of these projects and their large, engaged user bases makes Ice Open Network the first blockchain to achieve such substantial traction during the testnet phase.
Alex Iulian, Founder and CEO of Ice Open Network, reflected on the journey:
“What started as a vision to bring impactful projects into Web3 has grown into a vibrant ecosystem with over 40 million users. This is more than a milestone; it’s proof of what’s possible when you combine ambitious ideas with the power of decentralization. As we approach the mainnet launch, this foundation of active users and real-world applications ensures we are not just launching a blockchain—we are launching a movement.”
The Startup Program is about more than numbers. It’s about laying the groundwork for a future where blockchain technology is accessible to everyone, from developers and creators to businesses and end-users. Each of these projects brings a unique use case to the ecosystem, from connecting fans to their favorite music festivals to enabling secure, encrypted communications. Together, they highlight the versatility of Ice Open Network and its potential to redefine how people interact with technology.
The Startup Program also includes a multi-chain expansion, bringing Ice Open Network’s innovative technology and dApp framework to ecosystems like MultiversX and Solana, both ranked among the top 100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. By enabling projects to integrate and launch within these ecosystems, ION broadens its reach and reinforces its vision of interoperability, driving Web3 adoption across multiple blockchain networks.
This strong foundation of active users and engaged projects positions Ice Open Network for a highly dynamic mainnet launch. With the Genesis Block already live, ION’s early days will be filled with activity from these projects and their communities, ensuring a seamless transition from testnet to mainnet and setting the stage for further growth.
With its unique approach, Ice Open Network is rewriting the narrative for blockchain adoption. By focusing on building an ecosystem of active projects and engaged users even before its mainnet launch, ION is setting a new benchmark for what’s possible in decentralized technology.
