Unlock Protcol

Start by deciding what you want members to access and how they’ll prove it. In the dashboard, create one or more membership tiers with price, duration, supply, and benefits. Publish a checkout link, embed the paywall on your site, or drop a QR code in your bio. Support both crypto wallets and card payments so newcomers can join without friction. Once purchased, each member holds a transferable pass (an NFT) that serves as their universal credential.

Connect that credential to the places you run your community. Gate blog posts, files, or courses with a lightweight JavaScript snippet. Sync roles in Discord so holders get instant access to private channels; remove roles automatically when a pass expires. Protect WordPress or Discourse spaces with ready-made plugins. For newsletters, let only holders read premium editions or claim download links. Running meetups? Issue passes as tickets and scan them at the door for quick check‑in.

Experiment with pricing and growth without migrating tools. Offer time-limited discounts, trial periods, or allowlisted free claims to seed early adopters. Airdrop complimentary passes to speakers, moderators, or partners. Create referral or VIP tiers by setting separate locks with different perks. Configure renewable memberships with clear expiration dates, and let members upgrade or extend at any time. If you’re moving from Patreon or Gumroad, grant equivalent passes so supporters keep their status on day one. more
