Overview

Unfurl Connect is a lock-aware identity provider – think “Connect with Google”, but Unfurl allows gated access based on Unlock membership tokens.

So, as a user, you are allowing access, not to your photos, but to your on-chain entitlements (e.g. "Basic" or "Pro" subscription)

As a client, you get super-easy, slick experience gating access via memberships. Unlock makes this possible.

Motivation

Unfurl Connect was born out of my desire for a platform/framework/language-independent way to use Unlock. The vision for users being Unlock subscriptions on your smart TV. The vision for services is a 30-minute setup to start taking Crypto for subscriptions services regardless of technology – even if the service didn’t previously have authentication.
