About Unlock

Unlock is a protocol for memberships as time-bound NFTs. Unlock lets you create exclusive NFT memberships for your community, mintable using your own P00LS ERC-20 token. These memberships, known as Locks, can be set to expire, and used to gate Paragraph subscriptions, Telegram group chats, NFT mints, and more.

How it works

Step 1: Go to the Unlock App

Sign in to your Creator Portal. Navigate to the Unlock page within the Apps tab.

Step 2: Initialize the Unlock app

Click on Link to access the Unlock app and connect the wallet that you used to mint your token.

Step 3: Create your membership contract

Configure the name, duration, and price of your membership, also known as a Lock. In this example, we have opted to create a Telegram membership with an unlimited duration and a price of 20 $DEV tokens. Click on Next.

Step 4: Deploy your membership contract

Sign the transaction with your wallet and wait for the transaction to be confirmed. Depending on network congestion, this may take up to 10 minutes.

Step 5: Share and manage your membership contract

Success! You can now edit, manage, and distribute Keys for your membership contract. A Key is a membership or ticket NFT created on Unlock Protocol. These can be distributed via airdrop to a wallet or wallets of your choosing, or by sharing a purchase link with your community.
