Unlock Protocol is an open-source, community-governed platform for onchain memberships and subscriptions, aiming to ease implementation and boost user-to-member conversion, fostering a healthier web monetization.

Unlock is an open-source, collectively-owned, community-governed protocol that developers, creators, and platforms can use to create onchain memberships, subscriptions, and more. Unlock’s goal is to ease implementation and increase conversion from “users” to “members,” creating a much healthier monetization environment for the web.

There are a number of interdependent components in the Unlock Ecosystem. These are:

  • Unlock Labs: The core team that created and currently maintains Unlock Protocol.
  • Unlock Protocol: A suite of upgradable smart contracts that create memberships as NFTs.
  • Unlock DAO: A decentralized organization of token holders and active community members who shape and govern Unlock Protocol.
  • Unlock Protocol Foundation: A Cayman Islands Foundation whose purpose is to act in service of the Unlock Ecosystem and the DAO.
  • Unlock Tools: Front-end convenience applications built by Unlock Labs to further sustainable innovation on Unlock Protocol.

Unlock Labs created Unlock Protocol to provide an open, shared infrastructure for memberships that removes friction, increases conversion, enables scale, reduces costs, and evolves the web from a business model built on attention toward one based on memberships.
