About

Unlock Protocol is an open-source, decentralized protocol that enables creators, developers, brands, and platforms to monetize content and services through time-bound membership NFTs, without relying on centralized intermediaries. The protocol allows any developer or creator to deploy smart contract-based membership locks on Ethereum and other compatible blockchains, converting users into paying members with flexible access control. Unlock is collectively owned and governed by the Unlock DAO, with the goal of becoming the universal primitive for memberships both online and offline. The project raised a $4M seed round and is designed to improve web monetization by making the transition from free users to paying members simpler and more transparent.

Summary

It lists 1–10 employees. It has raised $4.0M in total across 1 round, most recently a $4.0M Venture Round in Sep 2021.
