- Pricing
- Read on https://docs.unlock-protocol.com/governance/unlock-dao-tokens (fetched 28 September 2026), the protocol's fee switch "is currently set to 1%. This value was set by the Unlock DAO through an onchain proposal and approved in May 2024. When the fee switch is set to any value larger than 0%, on every transaction for which there is a payment (purchase, extend or renewMembershipFor), the lock contract will send a portion of the payment to the Unlock contract on that network. These fees are used to help sustain the decentralized protocol." For a subscription merchant this means 1% of every renewal charged through renewMembershipFor goes to the protocol; the rate is set by DAO vote, not by Unlock Labs. No separate Unlock Labs subscription price is published: https://unlock-protocol.com/pricing returned HTTP 404 on 28 September 2026.Unlock Protocol Recurring Memberships — official pricing page ↗ · 28 September 2026

- MARKET-RESTRICTION LANGUAGE, NOT THE STANDARD OFAC/SANCTIONS REPRESENTATION — and this is unusual enough to flag. https://unlock-protocol.com/terms (read 17 August 2026, "Last modified: January 22, 2019") states: "Unlock makes no representation that accessing or using the Services is not prohibited where you are located. The Content and Services are based in the state of New York, in the United States and provided for access and use only by persons located in the United States. You acknowledge that you may not be able to access all or some of the Content and Services outside of the United States and that access thereto may not be legal." That is a US-only availability clause on the hosted Services (app.unlock-protocol.com, Locksmith, checkout, the credit-card layer), and it is joined by "Use of the Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of the Agreement", a New York governing-law clause and JAMS arbitration in New York City. The Terms carry no OFAC or sanctions-list representation at all; the only sanctions-adjacent text is US export control: "The Services and any components thereof may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations." Against that, the protocol layer is permissionless and geography-free: the contracts are deployed at published addresses on 13 production EVM networks and renewMembershipFor "can be called by anyone", so a merchant transacting purely onchain is not gated by any Unlock list. Hence both tags: the onchain mandate is global, the vendor's hosted convenience layer is contractually US-only on a seven-year-old ToS that Unlock has evidently not revisited. No country blocklist, licensed-market list or supported-country page exists on the property.
