# Unlock Protocol

> Easy-peasy event tickets and registration

An open source Ethereum protocol for memberships & subscriptions.

Unlock is a protocol developers, creators, and platforms can use to create memberships. Unlock’s goal is to ease implementation and increase conversion from “users” to “members,” creating a much healthier monetization environment for the web. In short, Unlock is an open-source, collectively owned, community-governed, peer-to-peer system that creates time-based memberships.
