What it does
Many membership site owners want to offer access to an audience that uses web3 wallets and decentralized memberships, while keeping the subscription tools they already rely on. This add on links Paid Memberships Pro with Unlock Protocol, a decentralized access control system. Content can then be locked so that only paying members or key holders get in, and access rights are recorded on the blockchain where members can see their status.
The add on works inside your existing Paid Memberships Pro dashboard. You keep the plugin's subscription system for recurring payments, upgrades and expirations, and you pair your membership levels with Unlock Protocol locks to build the access and pricing setup you want. It fits blogs, online course platforms and other content sites that want to add blockchain-based memberships alongside traditional ones.
