Unlock has raised $4 million for blockchain subscriptions for creators, devs, and online communities.

Like other blockchain companies, Unlock uses nonfungible tokens (NFTs) to authenticate one-of-a-kind digital items. But Unlock’s items have expiration dates, so companies can use them for monetization such as annual subscriptions or community memberships.
