Unlock Protocol Launches Tool to Airdrop NFTs via Email

Web3 digital rights and creator tooling platform Unlock has announced a new feature that enables creators and brands to airdrop NFTs through email.  The new feature makes airdropping NFT memberships easier for users and brands. Unlock, an NFT-based protocol, has launched a new feature that allows users to airdrop NFTs directly via email without a wallet. The update is part of Unlock’s initiative to help brands and creators form direct relations with their online communities.  While secure, Traditional NFT airdrops have too many repetitive and inefficient processes, such as allowlisting and raffles. These processes can make users' experience feel clunky, especially for NFT membership programs. However, Unlock’s new Email NFT Airdrop solution looks to solve that. Shoot Me an E-NFT? Unlock Email NFT Airdrop features will overlook major processes of NFT airdrops, optimizing the crypto on-boarding process for users. The Email NFT Airdrop mechanism will enable brands and creators to leverage on-chain ticketing, loyalty programs, and more without going through inefficient layers.  Unlock has shared that Brands and creators can use the Email NFT Airdrop tool to better connect with their communities beyond allowlisting, raffling, and loyalty programs, significantly increasing engagement.  Julien Genestoux, CEO and Founder of Unlock Protocol, shared their view on the current state of NFT experiences,  "The biggest difficulty for brands wanting to leverage NFTs is the user experience of integrating crypto wallets and being comfortable in that environmen.

Unlock’s new feature will play an important role in easing users’ transition and making the experience “frictionless.”  The Founder shared that they’re keen on moving beyond the days of “expensive ape pictures” to using NFTs for digital infrastructure.
