![Unlock Labs Feature Announcement: Allow List Hook](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/545a7aeabc3f6f0c29ae9ea6910ca038.jpg)

<p>Unlock Labs is thrilled to announce a new feature that many lock managers have requested: the <strong>Allow List Hook</strong>! This hook gives lock managers greater control over who can purchase memberships on their locks by requiring that only specific, pre-approved wallet addresses can complete a purchase.</p><p>This new capability is especially relevant for event organizers with private events, creators with exclusive content, and other builders who want finer control over who can mint tickets, memberships, subscriptions, or certifications.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-an-allow-list-hook">Why an Allow List Hook?</h2></div><p>In many cases, lock managers want the ability to pre-approve their members. Until now, there was a way to solve this by third-party tools like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="http://guild.xyz">guild.xyz</a> to manage allow lists. However, after hearing repeated requests and seeing real-world needs from the community, we decided it was time to build a native Unlock solution as well.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-real-world-example">Real-world example</h2></div><p>Coinage Media expressed a need to give their existing mainnet NFT holders a direct path to purchase memberships on Base. With the Allow List Hook, they can simply upload a list of addresses corresponding to those existing mainnet holders, ensuring only these verified individuals can purchase memberships on Base.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-allow-lists-matter">Why allow lists matter</h2></div><p>There are many reasons why allow lists matter to lock managers as well as to their community members.</p><p>Lock managers gain a powerful new level of control by selectively granting membership access only to a curated list of pre-approved wallet addresses.

Secure onchain minting of tickets, memberships, subscriptions, and certifications with pre-approved addresses

Unlock Labs Feature Announcement: Allow List Hook

<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/545a7aeabc3f6f0c29ae9ea6910ca038.jpg" alt="Unlock Labs Feature Announcement: Allow List Hook"></p>
<p>Unlock Labs is thrilled to announce a new feature that many lock managers have requested: the <strong>Allow List Hook</strong>! This hook gives lock managers greater control over who can purchase memberships on their locks by requiring that only specific, pre-approved wallet addresses can complete a purchase.</p><p>This new capability is especially relevant for event organizers with private events, creators with exclusive content, and other builders who want finer control over who can mint tickets, memberships, subscriptions, or certifications.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-an-allow-list-hook">Why an Allow List Hook?</h2></div><p>In many cases, lock managers want the ability to pre-approve their members. Until now, there was a way to solve this by third-party tools like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="http://guild.xyz">guild.xyz</a> to manage allow lists. However, after hearing repeated requests and seeing real-world needs from the community, we decided it was time to build a native Unlock solution as well.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-real-world-example">Real-world example</h2></div><p>Coinage Media expressed a need to give their existing mainnet NFT holders a direct path to purchase memberships on Base. With the Allow List Hook, they can simply upload a list of addresses corresponding to those existing mainnet holders, ensuring only these verified individuals can purchase memberships on Base.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-allow-lists-matter">Why allow lists matter</h2></div><p>There are many reasons why allow lists matter to lock managers as well as to their community members.</p><p>Lock managers gain a powerful new level of control by selectively granting membership access only to a curated list of pre-approved wallet addresses. This approach eliminates the hassle of dealing with unauthorized sign-ups, bots, and fraudulent activities.</p><p>By focusing on real, qualified participants, lock managers can preserve the exclusivity of their events, content, or communities, ensuring that everyone who gains access has been verified and meets the criteria set by organizers.</p><p>Meanwhile, members on the allow list enjoy a more seamless and trustworthy purchase experience. Upon connecting their wallets, they can quickly verify that they qualify for membership, eliminating any guesswork or surprises at checkout.</p><p>In addition, being part of an allow list fosters a sense of belonging, reinforcing the value of the membership or event they are joining and building confidence that they are participating in a legitimate community.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-how-it-works">How it works</h2></div><p>We’ve added a new setting where lock managers can enable the Allow List Hook and configure it directly from their Unlock Labs dashboard.</p><p></p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="/images/blog/unlock-labs-feature-announcement--allow-list-hook/132d974edc460e263d55ca341301ec28.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1874" nextwidth="3106" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>You can access the Allow List Hook from Settings &gt;

onchain capabilities of Unlock Protocol are seamlessly integrated into the user experience that is 100% controlled by Eventcaster. </p><p>This is the power of open-source, onchain protocols like Unlock Protocol. Once they are set up and proven, new capabilities (in this case, onchain ticketing) can be integrated into other platforms and protocols, typically in days or weeks. (The integration with Eventcaster took less than one month, for example.)</p><p>This integration comes on the heels of another similar effort where Unlock Protocol was integrated with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://paragraph.xyz/@unlockprotocol/unlock-protocol-hats-protocol-integration">Hats Protocol</a>. Hats integrated Unlock Protocol to add time-based memberships and subscriptions to the onchain role and access management capabilities provided by Hats, which was <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://paragraph.xyz/@unlockprotocol/unlock-protocol-hats-protocol-integration">announced earlier this week</a>. The Hats Protocol and Unlock Protocol integration similarly took about one month, as was shared in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.youtube.com/live/Nd3QgnmbWnI">this livestream with David Ehrlichman, Co-Founder of Hats Protocol</a>.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
