I'm the founder of Unlock, a membership protocol used by Forbes, The Defiant, in Decentraland, MyCrypto, and more! -- AMA :)

Hello everyone! I’m Julien, lead developer of Unlock. Proof

We’re a blockchain-based monetization membership protocol for creators, companies, and online communities, so they can all find ways to make money and organize without having to depend on the Internet giants.

We're doing this AMA as we’re getting a lot of questions from crypto devs about how our open-source protocol/NFT can be used -- especially developers interested in applying to our Token Grant Program. Info here

Here are some recent applications we love:

• In Decentraland, some users have locked access to a saloon!
• A community member recently created an NFT that limits access to select Discord servers to those who've bought it: it's called SwordyBot
• Real events/fundraisers: One of our grantees recently created a cool Dinner DAO for planning and raising funds for IRL group dinner parties.

You can find more on our blog too!

We just brought on Mozilla monetization researcher and crypto evangelist Amber Case as an advisor. We’re lucky to have them! Amber may answer some questions in this AMA as Consistent__Patience

By the way, we are also compatible with MOON: you can easily deploy a membership contract (we call them locks) priced in $MOON (we support any ERC20)

So... AMA!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the awesome questions! Hope you follow our Discord for more updates and our upcoming DAO!
