Unlock Protocol

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The Unlock protocol is just brilliant, it will be good if this plugin gets further development and add more features and integrations with popular page builders like Elementor, WPBakery, and others.. Anyway, it still has 5 stars from me as it is a really simple to use and useful plugin! This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by jordanbg.

   This plugin is Unlock Protocol packed into an easy to use package. Install it, and your posts are automatically compatible with Web3. Learning to use Unlock’s dashboard and web wallets is the hard part, using this plugin is incredibly easy and straightforward.

   Unlock is doing a great job creating an easy way for creators to monetize their content. I have big hopes that the blockchain can solve many of the current challenges and Unlock is definitely making the first steps. The plugin allows for an easy integration and way to create a wpywall for your content. Its crypto centric so ETH and DAI/SAI but they have a credit card option (which you need to email the unlock team about to use) – but its an awesome way to put up a decentralised paywall.
