Unlock Protocol (UDT)

Basics

• Based in:
• Started in / Announced on:
• Mainnet release:
• Explained by investor Consensys Ventures: "Unlock is an Ethereum-based paywall-as-a-service protocol that allows creators (bloggers, authors, developers, journalists, etc) to monetize their content. In 2018, the company expanded its engineering team to five people and deployed a version of the protocol onto Rinkeby testnet. We believe Unlock is paving the way for the future of content monetization on the web, of which the blockchain will be an integral part.
