The platform provides tools that simplify the deployment of smart contracts, asset generation, and integration with marketplaces, all supported by on-chain assistance. Developers who use SoonChain can prototype and launch a Web3 game without excessive knowledge of blockchain fundamentals, thus helping the space become more inclusive and scalable. Ice Open Network’s Online+ Integration Increases SoonChain’s Reach As soon as it is released, the platform will be linked to Ice Open Network’s Online+, giving it immediate access to enthusiasts and users of distributed apps. By having Online+, a place where people can talk, get answers, and enjoy token activities, SoonChain can make its AI-based games available to thousands of users. This integration will be pushing user acquisition to SoonChain while enriching Online+ with innovative game experiences. Leveraging the ION Framework The cooperation also showcases the flexibility of the ION Framework, the developer toolkit of Ice Open Network, to create decentralized apps. Based on ION’s Layer 1 blockchain technology with ultra-fast blocks, high throughput, and privacy-supporting nodes, SoonChain will deliver secure on-chain services for gaming without friction. These features are particularly vital when speed and the capacity to process many connections quickly are important in gaming. The collaboration with Ice Open Network makes SoonChain ready for more users to adopt Web3 as it gets closer to distributing the $SOONX token and launching the mainnet. Future Plans While Ice Open Network benefits from fresh game material attracting new users, SoonChain will leverage Online+ social feeds, token incentives, and community governance capabilities. Together, they seek to rethink the future of game development so that everyone has access to on-chain gaming driven by artificial intelligence.
